Built by: Orgues Létourneau (2020) - opus 135
- First United Methodist Church in Lubbock, Texas, is a very large church with a church hall with seats for 1.800 people. The church dates from 1955, and at first a pipe organ was installed by the Möller Organ Company, opus 8530, with 38 ranks, baptised the Forrest Memorial Organ. The organ was rebuilt in 1980, and after this year some modifications were made.
- In 2019, the construction of a new organ started by Orgues Létourneau, because the Möller organ was in need of an expensive restoration. In 2019 the Antiphonal Organ was replaced, and in 2020 the Chancel organ followed. The organ could be dedicated at the end of 2020. It has a four-manual console, with 89 stops in total, including a number of transmissions.
