Picture
From a booklet to raise awareness and funds for a new church, with photos showing the crowded Sunday School rooms. It was said that curtains were used as dividers and several Sunday School classes met in the same large basement room.

Rev. A.W. Johnson was instrumental in planning and implementing the 3rd and final church building. It still looks as beautiful, or even more so, then it did in those early days of the 1960’s.
