By 1920, the congregation had grown to 150, with 160 in the Sunday School, and realized that they needed a larger facility. After deciding to build a new facility on adjacent property on Thompson Street, the church hired the Butler and Sanders architectural firm of Tulsa to design the facility. In mid-November, the church awarded the construction contract to a Vinita firm, Love Brothers Construction Company. The old wood-frame church was donated to an African Methodist-Episcopal congregation. The last ceremony in that structure was held on October 22, 1922. It was then moved to another site at Delaware and South Fourth Street in 1922.
