Planned under Lawrence H. Cater and completed under Arthur J. DeYoung, the renovation replaced the old manse south of the church with a new addition containing the Voris Fellowship Hall, a kitchen, church offices, a nursery, and restrooms. The old second floor social room was remodeled into classrooms and a youth room, and the sanctuary was extensively renovated and modernized. In 1987, part of the adjoining parking lot was purchased, providing the first church-owned off-street parking. In 1988, the Voris Fellowship Hall and offices were air-conditioned. In 1990-91, the sanctuary, classrooms, nursery, and church library were completely redecorated. In 1993-94, the boiler and church roof were replaced, the Voris Fellowship Hall and kitchen were redecorated, and the front restroom was remodeled into a handicap-accessible facility.
