In June of 1942, lightening struck they bell tower of the church, setting it on fire. The building was completely destroyed. Due to World War II, special permission was granted to obtain necessary materials to rebuild, and the current structure was erected. The building was dedicated on May 2, 1943. Since that time, the structure has been remodeled and an addition was added.
Worship services continue to held in the same building today.
