Database Manager on June 29th, 2015:

Fourth Church disbanded in November of 2012. A different Reformed Church in America congregation (Voyage Church) now meets in the building. The organ was listed for sale or donation on The Diapason website.

Database Manager on May 10th, 2013:

From Jim Weaver, via e-mail: I just received a call from the new pastor of the 4th Reformed Church on 6339 Atlantic Ave in Kalamazoo, MI regarding their 1937 Kilgen organ ([reduced from four manuals to two and] installed at the present location by Barton in 1985). They are moving to a new location and will not move the organ which is now being offered for sale – or as a gift.

Database Manager on May 3rd, 2011:

The organ was originally installed in 1937 in the congregation's previous location at 134 E. Dutton Street, also in Kalamazoo. It was damaged in a 1978 fire and rebuilt as a two-manual instrument by C. V. Barden Company. Barden then moved the organ to this location, the congregation's current sanctuary, in 1985.
