Infinity Installations
Rodgers’ Infinity Series organs faithfully deliver the rich and dynamic sound of the traditional pipe organ with an unmatched realism along with a user experience that provides everything organists want and need to perform their best. Every pipe organ stop on a Rodgers Infinity Series organ is expertly sampled using a proprietary high-resolution recording process. Each stop is independently sampled from renowned organs around the world. No borrowing, no duplications. When a note is played, Rodgers’ Dimensional Imaging™ projects sound along the same paths that pipe organ sound flows, for brilliant spatial presence and multi-directional sound characteristics.
From leading congregational singing to captivating concert hall audiences, Infinity Series organs shine in every environment. These organs feature a wide range of tonal genres, exceptional musical expressiveness, and unmatched versatility, providing everything that today’s organists want and need to perform their best.
This story celebrates several installations of the 3-manual Infinity 367 and the 4-manual Infinity 489.
The first Rodgers Infinity 367 debuted with world-renowned organist Cameron Carpenter and the Santa Barbara Symphony on March 19 & 20, 2022. This was a temporary installation by our representative Nelson Dodge of Church Keyboard Center.
In October of 2022, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Goshen, Indiana, replaced their 50-year-old Rodgers Organ with a new Infinity 367. St John Church has an outstanding team of people that worked diligently to make an informed decision on a new instrument for their worship. James Richardson is the Director of Music & Organist for the Parish and is also the Adjunct Instructor of Organ at nearby Goshen College. James is also a composer (instrumental & vocal), Hymnographer (text & music), Music Engraver, Plainchant Enthusiast, and lover of the traditional Latin liturgy (for which he has many compositions). Both James and Fr. Royce Gregerson wanted to hear the sound of real pipes and determined that this was the best first step to realizing that dream. The second phase of the project will re-model the rear gallery and add several ranks of windblown pipes to add as much visual beauty to the worship space as do the front facades that hide the Antiphonal and Solo Division audio systems.
Rodgers congratulates Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church in Jennings, Louisiana, for the installation of their new Infinity Series 367 organ. Dan Miller inducted the instrument with a concert playing a delightful program of classical, sacred, and patriotic repertoire, plus some entertaining secular music, to demonstrate the enormous versatility of the organ. The beautiful tone of the Rodgers Infinity Series rang throughout the church touching the hearts of members of the church and local community. This superb installation comes courtesy of Rodgers representative Raymond Goodrich II of Lafayette Music Co. who matched the sanctuary acoustics and ministry needs of the church perfectly. This beautiful installation will serve them for many years to come.

It comes standard with adjustable bench and music rack, DS (Direct-Streaming) Core technology. Every note of every rank is an individual high-resolution sample.

Rodgers congratulates the First Baptist Church in Sulphur Springs, Texas, on their installation of an Infinity Series 367. The new Rodgers organ replaces a custom Rodgers Canterbury 950 analog organ installed in 1980, which served the church faithfully for decades. When the time came to replace, First Baptist once again turned to Rodgers and Church Organ Solutions to meet their musical needs. May the new Infinity Series 367 provide you with beautiful music for many more years to come!
Rodgers congratulates All Saints Catholic Church in Lewiston, Idaho, for their installation of a Rodgers Infinity 367 with 38 speaker cabinets. The 1,000-seat church was built in 2014 and did not previously have an organ. The parish is excited for a renewal of traditional music, and the Infinity 367 will also compliment contemporary music with its large selection of orchestral voices.
Congratulations to Normandy United Methodist Church in Dayton, Ohio, on the installation of their new Rodgers Infinity 367. Organist Noah Carpenter has been putting it through its paces as has Pastor John Guliano who has a degree in organ. The installation utilizes 20 audio channels which plays through a total of 26 speaker cabinets. This new technology and audio design has led to an amazingly full and authentic sound.

Rodgers congratulates The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas, for their installation of a Rodgers Infinity 489 in their 3,500-seat sanctuary. The organ has a double 32-channel sound system, and while very powerful, is also quite refined. Our representative Gerald Oehring and Associates, who has a significant knowledge of pipe organs, says this organ has “the most convincing sounds I have ever heard on a digital organ. The detail in the samples is stunning!” Church of the Resurrection was noted as one of the ‘Top Churches to Watch in America’ and with five campuses, the church has a membership of over 15,000.
