  A small church was built and served the
  people well until 1945 when because of overcrowding it
  was decided to enlarge it.

  decided to build a new church on the same site to seat 250
  people. This church was opened in the fall of 1956, after
  much hard work and sacrifices by the congregation, but
  again in 1963 this was found to be too small, and in 1964
  the present church was expanded to seat 350 people.
