Buildings and Services
The original structure included a large sanctuary, a vestibule, two pastoral offices and three clerical offices, a dozen classrooms on the west side of the church, and a nursery, kitchen, two bathrooms, four classrooms and a fireside dining hall on the east and relatively large areas for parking. Additions to the original structure include a gymnasium, a baseball field, a playground on the east side, a large garage behind the baseball field which lies on the north side, a parsonage of moderate size to the west of the gymnasium, a covered "breezeway" built over the gap between the Gym and the main building. A library and two offices were put along the southerly northern side of the church with storage rooms and a photography room across the breezeway on the northerly northern side. Behind the gym is the school building built to accommodate the now closed Victory Christian Academy which grew as quickly as the congregation did in its early days. The school has two floors and more than 20 classrooms and two large restrooms. The downstairs now houses the Spanish ministry. Outside the kitchen and along the east side of the fireside room lie two refrigerating units (one of which is no longer in working order), also the Green Room is connected to the fireside room. It originally functioned as a multi-purpose room, then housed the Spanish ministry and now is where the Youth Group holds its meetings.

Famous quotes containing the words buildings and/or services:
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
