A spontaneous fire burned down the Church in 1966. Due to this, the community rallied to rebuild a new Church. In addition, many members saw success in their professional careers and the Church welcomed its first Der Hayr Khatchadour Guiragossian.
1976 marked the first Ordination at St. Gregory Church for Der Antranig Baljian. A 3rd generation of Armenians were born to families from "The Orchard".
An addition was added to the church for an office and vestment room. In 1984, the Church celebrated its 50th Anniversary.
