Built by: Gebroeders Van Vulpen (1967)


  • On May 21, 1967, a new organ was put into use in the building Philadelphia in Enschede, built by the Van Vulpen firm. Truud Mesdag, organist of the congregation, played the organ on this occasion. After the building was closed in 1970, the organ was relocated to the Vredeskerk (Church of Peace). This church was renamed Ontmoetingskerk in 2015.
  • Ten years earlier, in 2005, the organ was transferred to the Mediant Theater, the location where the Ecumenical Faith Community Helmerhoek has its services.
