The actual work began in August 1996 and was completed on June, 1997. With memorials and individual donations the organ renovation was paid in full within a year. On July 13, 1997, the newly renovated Moller Pipe Organ was dedicated in a special Sunday service to the Glory of God and in loving memory and in recognition of Lucille Holloway's many years of service to the Lord. She was Bay Street Organist from 1931 until her retirement in 1974. Since then organists have been Hank Wilkinson, Gwen Probst, Cathy Vinson Winters, Rick West, Billy Lewis, and Pamela Finch.

The present organist, David Stockstill, began at Bay Street Church in 1994. He has an M.Ed Degree from U.S.M. and has studied under the direction of Dr. Ferdinand Dunkey of the Royal College of Organists, Londaon, and with a number of other distinguished organ teachers, both American and European.
