2011-04-30 - The congregation merged in 1987 with two other congregations (Alamo Ave. CRC and Knollwood CRC) to form Heritage Christian Reformed Church. The merged congregation built a new facility at 2857 South 11th Street, also in Kalamazoo. Steiner-Reck was hired to build a new organ for this facility, but 923 of the Reuter pipes were reused in the instrument. The building at this location now houses First United Baptist Church. -Database Manager
