Allbritton Annex, named for the head construction supervisor. The newly-opened facility was a three-bedroom house converted into three classrooms.
Interior bedroom walls were removed and the carport was enclosed to make the new facility usable. New flooring, insulation, windows, lighting and exterior doors were installed to complete the project.
The 2,400 sq. ft. facility will house potentially three Sunday school classes, one of which is now meeting in the fellowship hall of the church, and the 25-30 RA boys who meet on Wednesday and Sunday evenings.
The facility has a kitchenette area for small fellowships and meetings. More than adequate storage has been placed in the building, which also will house a washer-dryer combo to do kitchen and baptistry towels, said Pastor Dennis Hensley Jr.
“The ministry possibilities are only beginning to come into focus,” he added.
