"...so that the latter glory of this House may be greater than the former"

The present Church House was built during 1925-26. Designed to blend sympathetically with the church using a low gabled block in the manner of English churches, the building is constructed of Chestnut Hill stone.

Designed by the firm of Davis, Dunlap and Barney, the construction was overseen by Paul A. Davis, 3rd, a member of the congregation.

In addition to the Chestnut Hill stone, on the exterior can be seen Buff Indiana Limestone. Continued use of this stone was made in the addition of the cloistered arches at the parking lot entrance. The Gothic tracery of Indiana limestone was carved specially for the church by the Heltonville Limestone Company in Bedford, Indiana for the 1960 additions.

The metal doors on the Lancaster Avenue side are of bronze, hung on brass ball bearing bolts. Cast bronze molding secures the glass.

Liberal use was made of flagstone set in concrete, both inside and out.

The cost of the 1925 Church House was $240,000, including the furnishings.

The 1960 additions and improvements, designed by William Heyle Thompson, Architect and constructed by Unkefer Bros., included the office suite, kitchen improvements and the creation of the Chapel and the building of the chapel staircase.

Each change was carefully thought out and plans were made to use the finest material available in keeping with the architectural style of the church.

Furniture was purchased to augment the comfort and beauty of the rooms. An example of this is the furniture in the chapel designed for the church by The Craftsmen, Inc., of Harrisonburg, Virginia. The settles are maple and hickory wood construction. The lectern and table are solid walnut.
