"There was no money to buy a building site or erect a building. However, through the generosity of one of the members the congregation was offered the loan of a lot...on which they might build a temporary church with the privilege of removing the building when the congregation was in the financial position to purchase a lot.... [after an undetermined period of time] construction began, with all labor being done by the members and friends of the church, in their spare time - Saturday afternoon, holidays and at night - with most of the work being done at night by using lights from the automobiles parked around the building. The ladies had a definite and valuable part in the construction of the building, by furnishing refreshments and with some actually helping with the nailing and sawing of lumber."
"The building was completed during the last week in September 1923. To celebrate the completion of the building, a barbecue was held on the following Saturday. There were smiles upon the faces, and gladness in the hearts of all who participated, for here stood a house erected by faith and dedicated to the worship of God and to the service of mankind."
