The church seems to have merged with Christ Community Church of Chenoa around 2017, and the chancel has been remodeled several times.

The pipe organ appears in an early 1900s postcard, with highly ornate, stenciled facade pipes. The church Weebly site states "Our present church building was erected during 1874-1875, with the first service being held in the new church building on January 30, 1876. At that time Reverend M. M. Travis served as pastor, being the first regularly installed pastor. Reverend Travis served from 1868 until 1885. The building was dedicated on November 26, 1888. A pipe organ was installed in 1899 [ed: the postcard image]. It was replaced with a new organ in 1957." - the 1957 organ is the Kilgen already in the Database.
