meetings, and the transfer of many loyal workers from Whitesel’s, Dayton,
Mt. Sinai, Cedar Grove, and other nearby United Brethren churches. In
1917-1918 the present granite and limestone building was constructed at a
cost of $100,000.00. M. L. Weekley was pastor at the time of dedication.
The present building is on the same site as the original building.

In 1952 the basement area of the Church was enlarged and modernized
at a cost of $40,000.00, under the leadership of James Swain.

A very extensive renovation of the entire educational department of the
Church was done in 1964 at a cost of $90,000.00. The building at
Harrisonburg is truly a classic example of the style of architecture, and is
one of the best-equipped buildings in the entire denomination. This
renovation was done under the pastorate of Rev. Robert L. Bridgers.

In addition to the work done by the Church in Harrisonburg, it supports
three foreign missionaries. Present membership is 1,223.
