In the summer of 2014 , Plymouth Church began a project to renovate the Sanctuary . The chief concern of the project was to replace the original pipe organ that had been damaged during the 6.8 Nisqually earthquake that hit the Puget Sound region at 10:54 am PST ( 18:54 UTC ) on Ash Wednesday , February 28 , 2001 . The organ has been replaced with a new tracker organ , Opus 140 , built and installed by C.B. Fisk Inc. in Gloucester , Massachusetts . The renovation project also involved repairing major structural damage to the Nave 's roof trusses . It addressed acoustical problems with the space and saw the installation of a new energy-efficient lighting system . The new organ was inaugurated with a series of concerts in fall/winter 2015-16
