Based on the historical 1953 photo below, and the proportions of that photo vs the proportions of the church, I suspect the schoolhouse is the rear part of the church, and the front part of the schoolhouse was widened and possibly extended once the church took over the property.

In any case, there isn't much in today's church that looks much like yesterday's schoolhouse.
