jrowth, Expansion
By Jl'NE JOHNSON
Each major denomination anH
sect is represented in Hie Klam
ath Basin which now boasts more
than 80 church groups. With 51
churches in the area of the city,
Klamath Falls is the hub of re
ligious activity. Individual church
es are marked by a difference
in size as well as by doctrine.
Some have as few as 30 mem
hers, several boast a enngrega
lion of more than 50X1, and one
has over 1,000 members recorded
on the church rolls.
In 19B2, the church scene was
characterized by growth and ex
pansinn. Expenditures for remod
eling and building programs ex
ceeded $225,000, pointing up the
trend toward a return to spiritu
al life noted by ministers and
laymen on both the local and

The interest in religious promo

construction of two new church
buildings, establishment of a
convent, building of several edu

to obtain lunds for expansion and
completed the plans for the proj

unfortunate transient, men, and
the non-profit shelter has given
itself a complete face lilting. Of
Ihe extensive repairs made to
the building. Ihe old Covenant
Church at 823 Walnut, most of the
work was completed last year.
A three-story addition, dedicated
April 8, 12. prov'des a dormi
tory room for 50 men, complete
with .showers and rest rooms: a
dining room to seat 150; a new-
kitchen with storage room, wash
room, and utility room; a 400-
illon hot water tank, and an en
larged incinerator.
Most of the labor was provided
bv homeless men who came to
the mission seeking food and
shelter for several days. In this
group were painters, electricians,
carpenters, and even artists who
used their talents to decorate
several of the walls with large
murals.
A washer, dryer, and extractor
were installed in Ihe laundry in
October. These new additions to
the plant were accomplished
ihroiigh gifts and efforts of local
businessmen interested in Ihe min
istry conducted at the mission.

of its kind in the diocese.
The residence, north of the par
ish hall, was purchased by Jere
miah P. Kgan of Plush and pre
sented to the diocese to be used as
a home for nuns. Parishioners do
nated time and money to ren
ovate the old building. They
cleaned, painted, and did the
necessary carpentry and electri
cal work, which amounted to ap
proximately W.000 in repairs and
restoration. The original invest
ment in the property was $18,000.
The convent has three bed-
1 ooms, two baths, work room, din
ing room, chapel, reception room,

LORELLA FI LL GOSPEL
The Lnrella Full Gnspel Church
was founded by Mrs. Belle Kid-
well and Helen Voi ce at a meet
ing in the Lorclla Community Hall
in the summer nf 1927. Cash
Wood, an evangelist, set the
church in order, and Mrs. Kid-
well took over the duties of resi
dent pastor.
In September, 1935, William J.
Hagerman was accepted as pas-
tnr and built the present church
structure on an acre of ground do
nated by Tex Evatt. Improve
ments were made from time to
time with volunteer labor under
the direction of succeeding minis
ters. The parsonage, included in the
initial plan, has been enlarged
and equipped with all the mod
em facilities. An annex for Sun
day School rooms was added in
194K and again in 1950. and
wood furnace was installed.
From 19ii0 to 19M the church
planned a tltree-vear improve
ment program. The church plant
has already been completely re
decorated, and the exterior and in
terior have been repainted. Ex
panded parking facilities and land
scaping were completed last
vear.
Lnrella Full Gospel Church has
been in enntinuous operation since
its founding in 1927 and has al
ways maintained a resident pas
tor supported by the church.

year. The work was done by the
men of the church and the Mc-
Guire Construction Company of
Klamath Falls for an approximate
cost of $1,200. The work has not
yet been completed, and mem
bers expect to spend an addition
al $200 for siding for the ex
terior, as well as paint and ma
terials for redecorating the in
terior. Money for the project
was obtained by a loan from the
Oregon District Assemblies of God.
The church property has an in
volved history. It was first deed
ed to the Bculah Methodist Episco
pal Church by Mr. and .Mrs. Jo
seph Nichols for $1 on Sept. .1.
1902. This is the first record nf
the church at Bonanza, but many
old-lime residents say the history
of the present church goes back
farther than 1900.
After some years tlie work in
Bonanza was abandoned by the
Methodists. In 19-17 the property
was purchased bv the Nazarene
Church, which had been function
ing in the community for several
years, but the Nazarenes also
abandoned their work in 1935.
The present Community
Church was organized around 1954
by Hev. Bill Alsup. an Assembly
of God minister; and Ihe present
congregation completed purchase
of the property, owned by Ihe
Nazarenes. in 19H2. The Oregon
District Assemblies of God loaned
the local church the money for
the purchase and granted $511(1
outright. This loan has since been
repaid.
In nrder to prevent members nf
the community from having to buy
this property again, as it has
exchanged hands numerous times.
the deed granted tn Bonanza Cnm
munity Church carries a provi
sion that should-the Assemblies
of God ever cease their interest
in the work in Bonanza, the prnp-
erly will revert, without charge,
to the community. However, the
community must use the properly
for church purposes in accord
with the basic principles of evan-
lical Christianity.
