Its personalities would be that of a mature older adult and of a much younger adult, possibly even a child, comparatively speaking. You see, the church has been built at at least two different times, the older section in 1910 and the newer part, now the sanctuary, much later, possibly in the 60s or 70s.
The older section is a simple rectangular box, with the odd step in the walls and roof line, while the newer section is much more dramatic, with a steeply pitched roof that soars upward 25 feet. Equally dramatic is its stark steel bell tower, consisting of four steel pylons forming a pair of three dimensional gothic arches. Between the upper and lower arches is a bell which is somewhat out of the ordinary - it is an electronic bell.
The more contemporary sanctuary and the century old building are joined by a large annex containing offices and meeting rooms. We believe the old building is now a meeting hall.
