Broad Street Presbyterian Church - Columbus, Ohio

Broad Street Presbyterian Church strives to make the language of Christian worship (scripture reading, sermons, prayers, and hymns) reflect God's love for all humanity and broaden our image of God.

At the center of our congregational life is corporate worship. Sunday worship occurs at 8:45 and 11:00 a.m. from the first Sunday after Labor Day through the last Sunday in May. Music is provided by The Broadstreet Choir, soloists, instrumentalists and ensembles during the 11:00 a.m. service in the Sanctuary. The earlier service is held in the more intimate Courtyard area of the building and features weekly communion in addition to retaining many of the features of the 11:00 a.m. service. Throughout the summer months Sunday worship occurs at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary.

Broad Street Presbyterian Church is committed to offering high quality music and liturgy for worship, representing the finest historic traditions to the best of modern composers and authors. The Broadstreet Choir was founded in 1934 by Herbert Huffman, who, in 1937, also founded the Columbus Boy Choir, now the American Boychoir in Princeton, N.J.
Performances of Handel’s "Messiah" are scheduled every other year and extensive music services are presented the Sunday before Christmas and in the spring. In addition, the church’s music program includes choirs for children and youth through high school and an adult handbell choir.

For weekly services, our Organist accompanies the Broadstreet Choir and offers a wide range of organ repertoire from ancient to contemporary during 15-minute preludes, as well as improvised postludes. In addition, he performs a full-length recital each spring, and offers a half-hour recital prior to the annual Christmas Eve service. Broad Street also hosts 2 or 3 guest organists of national and international acclaim in recital each season.

History of the Organ
The sanctuary pipe organ also plays an active role in the worship and musical life of Broad Street Church. It was originally built in 1937 by the M.P. Moller Company of Hagerstown, Maryland. The organ had 4 manuals (keyboards) and a pedal board, with 66 ranks (sets) of pipes. It was rebuilt in 1986 by the Schantz Organ Company of Orville, Ohio io, and is one of the finest pipe organs in Central Ohio. New cantilevered cases were constructed on either side of the beautiful west Tiffany window, and a set of brass Trompette en Chamade pipes was placed horizontally over the east entrance doors in the back of the sanctuary. The new console has 4 manuals and a pedal board, controlling 66 ranks; there are more than 4,000 pipes located in the two cantilevered cases and two large chambers above the north and south choir lofts. A new Peterson combination system was installed in 2001; with its 99 levels of computer memory and a piston sequencer, organists have almost unlimited control over the many stops and controls.
