In 1922 the Adventists sold the building to the Community Church Society for $1,000.00. Prior to the sale the Protestant denominations in the community had met in the basement of the Number One School building at the corner of Hammond and Harris Roads.
In a newspaper interview done in 1982 one member of the Church had memories of early church days that included “a small fence which used to circle the church, a wood shed out back which people tied their horses to, of course an outdoor toilet, and an old pot stove in the back of the church”. She recalled “those in the back of the church were always nice and warm but those in the front nearly froze in the winter months”. She also recalled that the bell tower atop the Church had never held a bell. The church hall just to the north of the building was built in the 1950's and provided a place for Sunday School classes and Church functions.
The Community Church was endowed with Municipal Heritage Status in 2002 and in 2003 the Community Church Society embarked on a major renovation of the building including a new foundation, new roof and other structural repairs, allowing this little wooden building to remain in continuous use for almost 100 years, all of them as a Church.<\/p>\r\nCommunity Church
