In January 1975, church started serving Fish Chowder on the second Friday of most months. This Fund raiser and fellowship event is still in operation. See more information at Fish Chowder.
In 1975, a major change in the church included moving the building three feet nearer Main Street, changing the entrance from Bowdoin Street to Main Street, and adding new and enlarged vestry, kitchen and storage areas as well as offices, rest rooms, nursery, chapel, classrooms, lobby and landscaping.
In 1998, after more remodeling and the installation of an elevator, the church was declared fully accessible to people with disabilities.
