Updated by Melvin Potts
This church was closed by the Tennessee United Methodist Church Conference in 2016. The building was purchased by an individual who may use it for other purposes. I have been told that the organ is still in the building but have no other information about it.

Updated by Sandy Tipping, who has heard or played the organ.
The building has been sold to real estate developer Charles Jones, whose plans include renting office space in the Education Building to various tenants, and converting the sanctuary into an event space for weddings and other events.

Updated through online information from Charles E. Potter. -- In the 1976 Brandt rebuild the original large double rise reservoir and 3 attached feeder bellows were removed and replaced with 2 new curtain valve reservoirs for the Swell and Great. The original feeders still had a handle that projected through the side of the case for hand pumping. The feeders could also be driven by a water motor from below the organ. An electric blower had been added many years before and the feeders were no longer in use. The 1976 work included cleaning and replacement of the leather nuts on the tracker action.
