By May 1960 the church membership was 616. The Lord directed to property on Laskey Road and on June 23, 1960, the congregation accepted the plans for a new building to be built on Laskey Road. The church found itself in a position where they had to vacate their present building by February 1, and their new facility was not completed. On January 6, 1961, the congregation voted to rent Elmhurt School from February 1, 1961, until the new church was finished.

The early months of 1961 were difficult time for Emmanuel Baptist Church. They did not have their own building and were meeting in a school. The Pastor was ill, and there were many important decisions to be made concerning the new building. However, the year ended on a much brighter note. The first service in the new building was held on Thursday, August 10, 1961. This was a service of praise and prayer for God's blessings. This truly was a day of great rejoicing. The dedication service was held on September 17, 1961.

May 31, 1967, the recommendation to begin a Christian Day School in the fall with a Kindergarten class, was approved. The first teacher, who was approved at a later date, was Mrs. Joan Engel. Additional grades were added each year for several years until the school included kindergarten through sixth grade.  

For several months a committee had been working on a revision of the church constitution. On February 18, 1968, after several preliminary meetings the congregation approved the new constitution. Among the changes it made were the elimination of the board of Trustees and the "Official Board," changing to a Board of Deacons only. There was quarterly business meetings rather than monthly.  

On February 25, 1976, the church voted to purchase property in the 4600 block of Laskey Road for a new high school building. This was a big step of faith, and God provided for our needs. The cost of the property was $250,000 and this had to be paid in full before a building could be erected. A program entitles, "Free Our Land" was instituted with a goal of paying for this property.

The first graduation of Emmanuel Baptist Christian High School was in June 1976. The commencement speaker was Rev. Harold Amstutz. There were nine graduates

May 1988 was designated anniversary month celebrating the 90th anniversary of the church. Former pastors who ministered were: Dr. Ernest Pickering, Dr. L. George Hunt, Dr. Reginald Matthews, Dr. Joseph Bower, Dr. James T. Jeremiah. Former assistant pastors who participated during the month included: Pastor Bruce Snyder, Pastor Myron Williams, Pastor Douglas Beason. Mr. Paul Montgomery also presented special music. A time capsule was buried on May 29, which was opened ten years later. The church was challenged to raise $90,000 during the year to reduce the mortgage on the high school building. Over $105,000 was received for this purpose.  

In 2005 there was a fire that destroyed the high school which was rebuilt a year later. The name of the school was changed in 2006 to Emmanuel Christian school.
