In August of that year, the church called its first full-time minister, H. A. "Bill" Bullis.  The A-frame building on Meadow Lane was dedicated on June 30, 1963.  The following men have since served the Colonial Heights Christian Church as minister, Robert G. Tyler, Donald M. Tapp, Robert O'Donnell, Richard A. Carpenter, and presently, Hugh Thompson.

     On March 27, 1983, the congregation voted to purchase the property adjacent to the church (now known as the Annex).  This allowed more space for Bible school, fellowship, and future expansion.

     In 1991, plans began for the construction of a new sanctuary, offices, and classrooms.  Having grown from 41 charter members to more than 300 resident members, the need for more space was obvious.  Thus, plans were drawn and construction began during the summer of 1991.  The first worship service in the new facility was held in October 1992, during which a time capsule was buried - to be opened in 2042.  The original sanctuary was converted into the current fellowship hall and kitchen.

     Church growth continued into the new millennium in membership, attendance, program, facilities and staff.  A church bus was acquired in July 2000 and a garage was built for it.  The church purchased another adjacent property (Tilley) with land and a building, which provided a meeting place for the High School youth, beginning in 2002. Two worship services are now provided each Sunday morning.  Services are augmented by use of screens, praise teams, keyboard, small bands, drama presentations, youth led services, and costumed choir presentations on special occasions.  A Food Ministry was started in 1997 for the needy of the area with distribution at the church to up to 600 families, once per month.  The first, needed truck for food was obtained in 2001.  An addition was built onto the main church structure and came into use in July 2003 to serve needs of the food ministry and also to provide several new Sunday School classrooms on the second floor.  Over the years the staff has grown to include a Senior Minister, two Assistant Ministers, Youth Minister, Children's Director, Choir Director, Musicians, Administrative Secretary, Administrative Assistant, and two Custodians.  A number of members have participated in short term mission trips to various parts of the world. In 2003, the attendance was usually between 350 and 375 for the three Sunday Services.

     As we recount the history of this fine church, we are inspired by what God has chosen to accomplish in this place, and excited by the prospect of what is yet to come.  May God continue to receive all the honor and glory from the work of Colonial Heights Christian Church
