On May 17, 1917, our Trustees purchased the lot where our present church is now, on the corner of South 8th and West Water Streets. Actual construction of our present building was started in the summer of 1917. A year later the lot where our former parsonage building stood was also purchased for the purpose of erecting a new parsonage next to the church.
The first service actually held in our present church building was a prayer meeting service in the ladies Parlor just before Thanksgiving Day in November 1919.
