A few years later the growing assembly purchased a house and land and organized under the name Gospel Hall. Expansion led to plans for a new building in 1938. The first meeting held in the new Newport News Gospel Hall at 82 - 29th Street was in May 1940.
Around 1962, when the area around the area was becoming more commercialized, the assembly moved to 40 Ballard Road in a residential neighborhood, where more children could have easy access to hear the Gospel. Construction of Bethany Gospel Chapel was begun in September 1963 and the chapel was dedicated in June 1964. Peak was 100 in the 1950's-1960's, and they had many types of community outreaches from Vacation Bible School, etc. In the 1980's, some families hived off of Bethany to plant another assembly, but it was short-lived.
