The lower level includes a foyer, fellowship hall, offices, restrooms, and a large room that formerly served as a commercial kitchen and storage that supported the former food pantry ministry.  The property needs significant work to modernize the interior and improve aesthetics.  Recent repair work was recently undertaken to prepare the property for sale, including a new roof and gutters, along with plumbing repairs, replacement of interior plaster/drywall damaged by roof leaks, and removal of two "weed vines" growing along the Stricker Street gutter and the rear door of the church.   There is existing A/C equipment at the rear of the building, but it appears to have been vandalized, and its condition is unknown.
