Pictures of Our Church Building, Past and Present

The Beginning...The Outside View

From 1856 to 1962, this was our Church building on Main Street (currently the bank drive-through and parking lot).  This picture was taken in 1939.



Inside the Sanctuary

This is the front of the Sanctuary in the former church building on Main Street. The pipes of the Johnson pipe organ, pictured, were moved to the Western Avenue building in 1962. Only a few of these pipes are still in use today.

For more information about the organ, click here.



Inside at Christmas Time

Similar to the picture above, however, if you look closely you will notice some changes, mainly with the back wall. Notice the large pine trees.



And Now...

Our current Church building on Western Avenue, was dedicated in 1962.



The Cross

Beautifully illuminated, this cross stands in the front of the Sanctuary.



The Shepherd

Mounted on the back wall of the Sanctuary, this illuminated stained-glass Shepherd watches over His flock.

This stained-glass was originally mounted as a window, in the back of the former Church building on Main Street.



Stained-Glass

There are 12 of these beautiful windows in all, each with their own symbol. These were given by members of the Church.
