Help us restore our organ!
We are launching a campaign to restore our Estey pipe organ, a treasured part of our sanctuary donated by Frank Lanterman in 1925. Since then, it has been the voice of thousands of services, concerts, and events at La Cañada Congregational Church.
We are endlessly grateful for the support of our community in attending our concerts, supporting our music program, and donating to our organ fund. Every contribution will help sustain the voice of our sanctuary for years to come!
Stay tuned for an upcoming organ concert series beginning in Fall 2026…
All of these will expand our musical possibilities and meet our musical goals along with the organ’s versatility for worship services, concerts, weddings, community events, and educational outreach programs.
