On Nov. 1, 1879, Rev. A. Homrighaus being called from Schenectady, N. Y., took charge of the congregation, under whose administration the old edifice was remodeled at an expense of six thousand five hundred dollars. The dedication of the remodeled edifice took place on July 24, 1881. Revs. P. P. Henrighausen, of Baltimore, Samuel C. Yingling, of Harrisburg, and P. L. Harrison, of Frostburg, were present and participated. There having been only one German service in the morning since the organization of the church, an English service was introduced by the pastor at night.

Among the pastors preceding Rev. Homrighaus were Rev. M. During, Rev. B. Sickle, and Rev. Mr. Stump. The congregation grew under Rev. Homrighaus.
