2023-03-04 - The church is now known as the Mighty Rivers Family Congregation. The organ is in place, but there is a small console for a digital organ on the front right floor. -Jeff Scofield

2024-08-07 - Original console was disconnected and put on display in another room, a digital organ was installed. The pipe organ was left in situ for potential to be incorporated into a hybrid installation if funds someday allow. Speakers placed on walkboards. Church is now called Mighty Rivers Worship Center.
