DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
From Jeffrey Neufeld 6-16-2026: "The Wesley UMC church did merge several years ago with the aforementioned Epworth to form "Journey of Hope". The Moller pipe organ from the Wesley building is no longer extant and was apparently removed by the Hispanic congregation that bought the building. Also note, that while the builder's opus list might have 1958 as the installation year, it appears from the church's historical documents the organ was dedicated on December 1, 1957."

Updated through online information from Jeffrey Neufeld [June 16, 2026]: The 1957/1958 Moller is no longer extant as it was apparently removed by the congregation that bought the former Wesley UMC building on South Street.
Jeff Scofield on March 16th, 2024:
Merged in May 2020 with Epworth United Methodist to form Journey of Life UMC, using the Epworth building; the Wesley property was sold to Iglesia Universal.
