The Sixties
THE SIXTIES
By the early 1960s, Bethesda was again experiencing growing pains. A bigger building was needed but it seemed impossible to do without the basement building long enough to construct a new building. Around Easter time in 1962 God took care of the problem by striking it with lightning and burning it to the ground. The four-story educational building was built to replace it.
In 1964 the Educational Unit was finished. It was located where the Basement Building stood. And had the same architecture as the Main Sanctuary.
