"In 1917, another church structure was erected under the direction of Rev. W. H. White, whose pastorate lasted until 1926. Following Rev. White, Rev. B. H. Payne began tenure as pastor which was to last nearly forty years. The building underwent a number of structural and cosmetic improvements during Rev. Payne’s tenure.
Rev. Payne retired as pastor in 1965, at which time the Rev. Louis Cunningham was called by the church. Under his administration, extensive renovations were again done on the building to produce the structure we worship in today. Many names were added to Calvary’s membership role during Rev. Cunningham’s tenure and students from local colleges started participating in the church services."
