Updated through on-line information from John McCraney. -- The church built a new colonial/Georgian church in west Augusta; the original building is still downtown, but the organ has been removed. Whereabouts of pipes unknown. Console rebuilt as two manual by Schantz and used with antiphonal division in balcony. Otherwise, the new build has a new 4-manual Schantz c. 1990.
