 In 1975, during the pastorate of Rod and Doris Weber, a [[Voluntary Service]] (VS) program began in Stratford that used the house for the VS unit. This program ended in 1980. The house was then used for the Avonholme program for persons with emotional and psychological issues.

 In 1994 the church was sold to the Stratford Church of Christ, and the congregation moved to share part of the facility at the new Greenwood Court retirement community in Stratford. COVID-19 brought an end to this arrangement in 2020, as Greenwood Court could not allow outsiders to visit the complex weekly. It invoked a buy-sell clause in the original agreement, forcing the congregation to make alternative arrangements. In August 2021 a permanent home had not yet been identified, though a local Lutheran congregation provided interim space.
