When land agents and prospective investors in the purchase of land by the Slavia Colony Co. posed for a 1911 photo (looking southward, toward Winter Park) on the railroad tracks near the current intersection of SR 426, they could not have envisioned a time...a century later... when those tracks would be replaced by a paved hiking-biking trail, running parallel to a busy four-lane divided highway. In a 2015 digital image taken from approximately the same vantage point as the historic photo, Lukas Nursery is on the right with the Slavia Road intersection behind the photographer.

Renderings and model of proposed new church facility. March 8, 1992
On March 8, 1992, the congregation was invited to view a large architectural rendering (painting) of the proposed church facility, as well as a three-dimensional table-top model of that same structure. In a special meeting of the church voters called in December, 1990, the congregation had agreed to proceed with the building of a new facility. More than a year passed before the members were to see the architectural rendering and model. Contractors' bids for construction, however, were much higher than expected and many revisions (most significantly: the lowering of ceiling as shown in the model and also the decision to use stucco, rather than brick for exterior walls) were made before the congregation signed contracts for the construction of the final architectural version for the facility.
