In March 1953 the Church voted to buy a bus for the purpose of transporting children to Sunday School. This had already been discussed in the February meeting. The April 1953 business meeting showed continued concern for the two-story education building. "R. H. [Graham] asked that more men try to help on our new educational building or else we might have to get a contractor to finish it." Much of the labor on the education building was volunteer. Herbert Jungbluth, Vance Bell and Raymond Layne were among the current members who helped with this building.There was a bus report showing 19 riders the First Sunday and 33 the second Sunday. A request was made for more men to take the test for a license to drive the bus.
In May 1953 an historic action was taken when the Church voted to withdraw from the Indian River Baptist Association in order to join with other churches in the area to form a new Association. It was reported in the May meeting that the bus debt had been paid.
The Nominating Committee was appointed on Sunday, July 5, 1953 to select officers for the new church year. The members of the committee were as follows: W. E. Broome, Chairman, Herbert J. Jungbluth, Vance Bell, Mrs. R. W. Layne, and Mrs. E. P. Cook.
A look at the Sunday School workers for the 1953-1954 year shows the structure of the Sunday School at that time.
