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:
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
