Administrative history
The first service was held Palm Sunday of 1947 at the Veteran’s Housing Administration Building with twenty in attendance. The lots were purchased that year, and in 1948 a decision was made to purchase the old Christian church, which was moved to the new site on October 7, 1948. The parsonage was built in 1960. In 1962 some interior remodeling of the church was done. In 1964 the exterior of the entrance of the church was renovated with wood siding and in 1966 shrubs were set out by the steps. In 1973 and 1975 improvement work was done in the church basement. In 1989 the last service for the congregation was held.
