In February 1909 the “I
Will” Sunday School class was organized and the “Who
Do” class in 1914. A new parsonage was built at
217 North Seventh in 1913. The Annual Conference
records of 1916 show that the pastor received the
parsonage rent free and a salary of $1, 900 per year.

Church reports show that following the building of the
new church the congregation soon doubled in attendance;
the Epworth and Junior League took on new life and the
Sunday School grew in numbers and strength. A gracious
revival followed and many became Christ’s witnesses.

A
gift made possible the building of an attractive
addition to the church, providing a church office,
pastor’s study and classrooms on both the ground floor
and second story. The new addition was dedicated
in the late fall of 1932. In 1936 a new organ was
purchased (retaining some of the old pipes) at a total
cost of $2,100.

More
Sunday School classrooms were soon needed and the
kitchen needed remodeled so the men of the church dug
out under the sanctuary to enlarge the basement for more
rooms and two restrooms. The women bought all the
equipment for the kitchen. The work was finished in
March 1938. |
