God Brings Growth and a New Church Building

The original core of 47 attenders grew rapidly, so visionary leaders began the work of acquiring property and building a new church home. Pictured is Pastor Ronnie Epps, Darlene Epps, and their children Reggie, Jack, and Renee at the groundbreaking for the new church building in Overland Park. Great financial sacrifice and lots of hard labor by the part of members went into the construction of the original chapel, with Sunday school rooms on the basement level. Dedication of that first building at our present location was in September 1971.
