"In 1955 the church bought the present property on College and Forest and ten years later occupied the fellowship hall and adjoining classrooms while maintaining our various ministries on “two campuses.”
Dr. Hunter’s ministry was followed by the leadership of Dr. James Comfort Smith, (1954-1970) by Dr. Robert A. McKenzie, (1970-1983) and by Dr. Thomas D. McKnight (1984-2001). Pastor Max Lynn arrived in 2002.
In 1968, a generous bequest from Dr. Howard Campbell made it possible to complete the building of a new sanctuary and all the necessary accessory areas, now known as the St. John’s Center. In 1974 we vacated the “old church” and temporarily held services in the Fellowship Hall until the sanctuary was finished one year later. In late 1978 the final mortgage payment had been made on the entire property and a grand service of burning the mortgage was held." (
