With the others, they at first met in the basement of the home of George and Irene Tkachuk. After a short time, the parishioners were able to purchase a property south of Edmonton on Ellerslie Road, and Nick and Emily were deeply involved in the development of the buildings there, and of the new parish itself. Nick was constantly at the new site as he participated with the others in the renovations, repairs, and extension work.

	In 1982, the parish bought a building in west-central Edmonton, and they moved to 10320-147 Street. It had previously served as a [https://www.britannica.com/topic/Protestantism Protestant] church and as a meeting-hall. There, again, Nick and Emily continued as before in their support of the parish and the parishioners. From the early days, they accepted to be “godparents” for many of the new parishioners and their children. Their lives were as always focussed on the service and worship of the Lord, and everything else came second. However, nothing that “came second” was neglected.
