This money provides the exact amount needed for the down payment on the first 20 hectares of property located on the east side of the city. The church and its ministry continued to grow, adding bus services, several adult Bible classes, radio services, Spanish ministry, Christian schools, and Bible institutes. In December 1993, the church moved to a new 21 acre site. Currently the church has a 90-acre property that has been planned for churches and college ministries.

Two members of the Bible department ask 10 random questions with follow-up questions from a list of about 200. Students have three opportunities to graduate, but if these are not met or if staff considers necessary, doctrinal papers in a particular field may also be required before giving a Senior Pass. After three occasions, the student will not be able to graduate from the school year and must return at the scheduled time of the following school year and must pass before the award of the diploma. Female students are not required to pass this type of test to graduate.
