In 1965, the church building suffered a massive fire that originated in the pipe organ. By cutting holes in the sanctuary roof to allow the hot gasses to escape, firefighters were able to save the rest of the building (which surrounded the sanctuary on two sides). Following the fire, the interior of the sanctuary was remodeled in a more contemporary style, including the creation of a prominent stained glass window above the Chancel. During reconstruction an addition was also built to house new church offices.
