1850 to 1874

 
In the spring of 1853, Jersey Shore was made a station. At that time there were 204 members and 38 probationers. Between 1854 and 1860 extensive repairs were made, and the introduction of gas. No statements of the cost was made other than the Church was in debt $26.08. In 1959, the ladies purchased a set of pulpit and altar furniture at a cost of $56.00.

In 1863, the Quarterly Conference adopted the following resolution: "That we recommend the Board of Trustees to reconstruct the basement of the Church and paint the outside of the same." This resolution was not carried into effect until three years later when repairs were rendered necessary by a flood. The flood of 1865 brought water into the Sunday School rooms to a depth of 18 inches, necessitating general repairs.
