Updated through online information from David Starzer: -- In the 1980s, the Westminster congregation merged with the congregation of Green Ridge Presbyterian, using the Westminster property and forming Covenant Presbyterian. Portions of the Austin organ were used to augment the 1960s Schlicker from Green Ridge, which was relocated and enlarged by Schlicker.
