The decade of 1920-1929 shows 5 pastors with some information missing in the 1921-1922 and 1924-1925 church years. It is interesting to note that the Church grew from 20 members in 1924 to 157 in the 1926-1927 church year. This growth spurt was under the pastoral leadership of Rev. Harry A. Day. There were 56 baptisms recorded for the 1926-1927 church year. The Church had full-time preaching services under Rev. C. T. McKee in 1927-1928. W.M.U. was reported for 1926-1927 with an enrollment of 25 and B.Y.P.U. was started the next year at the Church with an enrollment of 7. The Church ended the decade with 106 members and 46 enrolled in Sunday School. A picture of the 1927 Vacation Bible School with Pastor Harry A. Day reveals the vitality of the Church at that time.
