August 12, 1974 - The church was badly damaged by fire.
The front of the sanctuary, the organ and choir piano, several rows of pews and items in the storage room were destroyed or badly damaged. After accessing the damage, the congregation decided to raze the old wooden church structure, restore the education unit and build a new sanctuary. A salvage committee was formed. In order to restore the education building many volunteers cleaned, repaired and painted for uncounted hours. The salvage committee moved anything of value out of the building and stored it. The pews that were in good shape were cleaned and sold. An auction was held to dispose of the surplus equipment.
