Church History Page 7 In July of 1988, Reverend James D. Moore was voted in as Pastor, and had been serving as Pastor here since then. He had been serving as Assistant Pastor to Brother Thompson. His family included wife Kathy, and daughters Lori, Michelle, and Amanda. Under Brother Moore's leadership, the church has continued to grow. In August of 1989 the parking lot was paved, an accomplishment that everyone greatly appreciated. Since that time, additional parking lot space was made and paved. In addition to this, much needed roof repairs were made on the flat roofs and a new roof put on the church. In 1992, new furnaces and air conditioning were put in when one of the units failed. We still have one unit that will need replacing some day. In 1993, a new roof, gutters, and paint was done on the parsonage. In 1994, a new garage was built and in 1995, new siding was put on the church. New kitchen cabinets and flooring at the parsonage was done in 1995, and in 1996, new carpeting was put in. All of the above things were done on a cash basis. The original church mortgage was paid in full, before the addition was added. With the addition came the Fellowship Hall, as well as a kitchen upstairs. During the spring and summer in 2006, funds were raised to help remodel the lower level, where all of our Children's Ministries take place. The remodeling included fresh paint and new carpeting. The main area is completed, and we are working on the classrooms one by one, as funds allow. In the spring of 2007 we were blessed by the addition of two pastors to our staff. Ben Marshall joined us as full time Youth Pastor. He and his wife Jen came all the way from Terre Haute, IN. Bob Mahan also joined us as Family Ministries Pastor. He and his musically talented family have been a great asset to the church. We are glad to have them with us.
