A conference was held at the home of Mr. D.J. Riffe that same night and plans were begun for the rebuilding of the church. Newspaper articles in the weeks that followed told of the campaign to solicit funds for the rebuilding, and of church services continuing in homes and, when weather permitted, at the old church site. Sadly, even though the building was replaced, the history in the records destroyed by that fire was forever lost. By 1944 the church had grown to the point of full time status with services each Sunday. The next few years proved to be fruitful for Bethlehem.
Records show that the church experienced wonderful revivals with many professions of faith.
During these years Bethlehem licensed and ordained five men to the ministry, Bros. Ernie Yocum, Jewell Canerday, Merle Bates, Jimmy Yocum, and Glen Griffin. God continued to bless Bethlehem. New buildings have been built and more land has been purchased. Little did those men and women of 1875 dream that their log cabin church would become what we see today. May we always give God the glory and honor for what has been done here, but may we also remember and honor those men and women down through the years that kept the doors of this wonderful old church open, through the hard times as well as the good.
