Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The congregation changed its name in 1978 to Christ Community Church and built a new sanctuary with a new pipe organ by Gress-Miles. The Schantz organ was moved to a church in Holland, Michigan, by Mutchler Organ Company who also made tonal changes to it. In 1992, the organ was relocated again by Bill Swem to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Muskegon, Michigan.
