In 1961, Rev. James Marsh was hired to assist Rev. Nemeth. Together they worked hard to foster a feeling of harmony and cooperation among the congregation. The church became aware of the need to be good stewards. Giving to both local and general missions increased significantly. A unicameral Board of Session was adopted in 1961. Going the second mile the church enthusiastically supported the financial campaign known as "The 50 Million Fund" - a General Assembly Fund for capital improvements across the denomination. The White Church sent $21,688 to the General Assembly. Rev. Nemeth was appointed delegate to the General Assembly of May 15-23, 1961. A "School of Christian Living" was an on-going event at this time as were study groups known as "Know Your Church Nights" and "The Secular Relevance of the Church." During this period the sextant's house was razed and new grave plots were laid out in the cemetery The organ was rebuilt and a complete new heating system was installed in the sanctuary. In February, 1967, Rev. Nemeth announced that he had accepted a call to Cumberland, MD. In March, Mr. Marsh requested the Session to terminate his relationship with the church.
