Rev. Arnold Harvey Roesener was called in 1944, having previously served in Glenville, KS. During his tenure, on July 28, 1946, BLC celebrated its 25th anniversary. Former pastors, Hoffmann, Schulz, and Tejan, were invited to be the guest speakers. In anticipation, the congregation raised $2,500 to refurbish both the interior and exterior and installed a new oil-burning heating system. In 1947, Pastor Roesener returned to Kansas.
