It seemed natural to locate the building in the community in which they gathered for worship. This would be Calhoun since most of the Baptists lived there. An opportunity came with the construction of an improved highway. Dexter Construction Company, the highway contractor, offered to move the building to its new site some 10 kilometers from Gaytons to Calhoun. This happened on May 27, 1946.
