	Luz saw the congregation grow so quickly that a new building was needed. In 1876 he convinced the congregation to purchase five acres of land near Windsor Avenue and then subdivide the land into cemetery lots. Sold for as little as ten dollars per lot, the property remained a steady source of income that was used to purchase a suitable site for a church. The present building was dedicated on October 26, 1879, and Luz remained its pastor unti1 1908.		Luz saw the congregation grow so quickly that a new building was needed.

	A successful mission on Twentieth and Elm Streets led to the formation of a new church, Saint Peter's. After a period of use as a branch church and Sunday School, a parsonage was added to the property in 1903. The deeds to the property were turned over to the new church on January 18, 1911. Encouraged by the success, Luz purchased a house on Grandview Avenue in 1892. Despite ~~remodeling~~ into a chapel, the mission failed with offerings never exceeding twenty-five dollars annually. Services were finally discontinued, and the property was sold.		A successful mission on Twentieth and Elm Streets led to the formation of a new church, Saint Peter's.
