In July, 1915, the church moved into its first regular meeting place at Logan Hall, 413 Logan Avenue, where services were held continually for 14 years. The first permanent pastor, Rev. J. Simpson, started his work at the church on July 1, 1917.
Following this pastor, Rev. E. N. Tweten (1921) and then Rev. Jensen in 1928. Shortly after Rev. Jensen's arrival a building committee was appointed and the church on Alexander was bought. This church building is still is in existence and is now a heritage building. You can read about it here.
