Lynn Hildebrand serves many functions within the First Congregational Church in Corona. She teaches Sunday School and often leads the children’s choir. In addition, she has served as a member of the Mission Board and the Christian Education Board at the First Congregational Church. The church, which offers a Sunday worship service, has a choir that is co-directed by Lynn Hildebrand and that is accompanied by a real pipe organ. The Robert Morton organ, which was purchased at a cost of $4,225 and installed in 1928, was the first of its kind in the area. It was played for the first time in 1929 by Sibley G. Pease, a composer from Los Angeles, at its Dedicatory Recital. Since that time, the organ was refurbished in 1990 by Ron Kraft, and fully restored in 2010 by R. M. Ballantyne Pipe Organs. The church has a history that is as rich as that of the organ. The First Congregational Church of Corona was established in 1887, and was the first church in Corona, California.
