In 1953, the church constructed the Bible School Building, which was able to house 1,000 pupils. Following Pastor Stowell, in 1970, Pastor Robert C. Gage came to be Senior Pastor. Under his leadership, the church began Hackensack Christian Schools, a Pre-K thru 12th grade school. Near the end of his leadership in 1977, the church constructed the Leach Memorial Building, which housed a athletic center, classrooms, and science labs for the Christian School. In 1980, Pastor Gage left to pastor First Baptist Church in the City of New York. In 2017, the school was renamed to Bergen County Christian Academy in order to have a stronger reach into the community.
