Notes

2011-06-11 - The congregation was originally known as First Reformed Church. It changed its name to Christ Community Church in the 1970's, and in 2010 the name was changed to C3 Exchange. The group is now known as a spiritual community rather than a church. Gress-Miles added the Trompette en Chamade in 1989, and Don Haan added two digital stops in 1999. The contract was signed July 14, 1977, and the original cost of the organ was $78,995 -Database Manager

2015-02-14 - The congregation left this location in early 2012. The building was eventually sold to Harvest Bible Chapel. -Database Manager

2019-06-01 - From online photos, it appears that the organ is still there, with the console pushed to the far side of the former choir loft. -Database Manager
