A larger structure was built at the present site and a one-room school was built on the right side of the church yard. In the early 1900's the school was torn down and the school children were sent to Kempsville.
The church was reconstructed in 1913 and the lumber was salvaged for use in the new building. The present sanctuary is therefore built on the original 12 X 12 sills. The first service was held at noon on December 10 1914. The Rev. J.T. Routton preached. The church was dedicated on July 1, 1915.
In the 1930's the church was wired for electricity. The old carbide lights were turned upside down and converted for electricity. They are still in use today. The altar furniture and the communion table in use today are from the original building.
In the 1940's the roof of the bell tower began to leak. The front entrance and the steps were changed. The tower was replaced by a simple roof over the Narthex.
Plans for the social hall were approved in 1956. This included the social hall, a stage, a kitchen and two bathrooms. It was completed in 1957. Four classrooms were added to the social hall and dedicated in 1980.
In 1987 another addition was made that connected the sanctuary to the existing classrooms. It included the pastor's office, a quilting room, a 2-room nursery, 5 classrooms and two modern bathrooms. It also included a new entrance and Narthex, with closet and a handicapped elevator.
In 1989 the parking lot was paved and old fashioned coach type lamps were installed for outdoor lighting on the newly landscaped grounds. In 1990 we purchased the adjoining property and house to the south of the property for purposes of future expansion. In the early 90's the old tin roof was covered with a traditional plywood-felt-roofing tile surface. In the late 90's the social hall and kitchen were remodeled.
