These were difficult years for the new congregation. A crisis occurred in 1911 when Faith Church was dropped from the roll of the Board of Missions as a lost cause. But through the concern and interest of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. O. P. Schellhamer (1912-1932), who had helped organize the church, the struggling congregation of Faith Church was saved. The church began to grow as more and more families moved into the area and found a "home" at Faith Church. In 1959 the Evangelical and Reformed Church merged with the Congregational-Christian Church to become the United Church of Christ.

Over the years numerous improvements have been made including the addition of a bell tower, the addition of the Sunday School wing in 1924, construction of the parsonage at 511 Pacific Avenue in 1932, and more recently the addition of a new kitchen and fellowship hall, with ground breaking in 1997 and dedication in 1998.

When Rev. Schellhamer retired in 1932, the Rev. J. Edmund Lippy (1932-1940) became pastor, followed by the Rev. Albert C. Robinson (1941-1955), the Rev. Wilmer C. Mantz (1956-1963), the Rev. Robert W. Gamber (1964-1970), the Rev. Dwayne C. Carter (1970-1989), the Rev. Robert Davis-Mayo (1990-1996), and the Rev. Ron Oelrich (1997-present).
