Led by the Holy Spirit, our core commitment is to empower people to live with a Christ-like heart, with personal excellence and maximum effectiveness, thereby establishing strong family and community legacies. A "community church" is a church that grows out of the life of the community. It is neither planted nor transplanted from the outside. It grows out of the hopes, needs and aspirations of the people of the community. The community church serves all of the community, and claims the whole of the community as its parish. It is in fellowship with all other churches in Christ and welcomes all who love the Lord Jesus Christ to its fellowship and membership, regardless of sect or denomination. It is the purpose of the Douglas Memorial Community Church to exalt God, to set forth the teachings of Jesus Christ, our Lord; and to share the fellowship of the Holy Spirit throughout the religious, social and educational fellowship of this congregation and the community.

Safe Deposit touted its "Great Vault," whose three fireproof outer doors and two burglar-proof inner ones sat in walls of steel and iron, surrounded by a foot of concrete and 2 feet of brick, according to a company history. Along the street, there were "spy steps" which enabled roving late 19th century policemen to peer into the windows. These "spy steps" provided in the center of the south part of the west wall, and on each side of the doorway are about three feet from the ground. They are a protruding stone step, and at shoulder height is a bronze ring. This was intended to assist a policeman to look in the windows. The "brass ring at shoulder level was used to balance them on the step. The steps are still jutting out into the sidewalk on both the Calvert and Redwood street sides of the Safe Deposit building. However, metal rings are only on one of the Calvert "spy steps" and on the right-hand side of the Redwood Street main entrance.
