Facilities
In addition to the original sanctuary (the cornerstone reads 1967), numerous buildings have been added. The original sanctuary is the Baker building, named after the founding pastor of the church, Reverend Ernest Baker. A major addition was completed in the early 1970s along the west side of the original structure. This addition contained classrooms and office space and is now known as the Bose building, named after the second pastor of the church, Reverend Homer Bose.
Two small duplex style classroom buildings were constructed in the late 1970s. During the tenure of Dr. Shelton Smith from 1979 to 1995, small portions of land were acquired from an adjoining commercial nursery and a gym/high school building was eventually constructed in the mid 1990s. When Dr. Smith left the church to become editor of The Sword of the Lord, the gym/high school building was named in his honor.
Shortly thereafter, the church was able to acquire much of the undeveloped land in the immediate area. Portions of the property were then utilized (i.e. ballfields, parking, storage, etc.) to support both the church and school. Several years later a sizable addition to the high school (nearly doubling its size) was added. The campus is now large enough to accommodate future growth of the church and the school if need be.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
