1946 - 1951
David P. Wright was called as pastor on June 5, 1946. He instituted ten weeks of Kids Klub every year with an attendance of over 100 boys and girls. In July, he conducted the Newfield Summer Bible Conference held in the Edgarton
Grove for two weeks; everyone was welcome. His wife was a
talented musician aiding in his ministry.
During his pastorate, the Reid lot, across
the street from the church, was purchased for parking. Pastor
Wright resigned August 19, 1951.
Albert and Dorothy Gaunt were sent out as
missionaries to Zaire, Africa, in 1949. They were on the field
for 35 years. The "retired" in 1985, but a Christian never
retires from serving the Lord, Albert served on the Board of Deacons
through 2002, while Dorothy was our librarian for several
years.

In 2007, due to their health, the Gaunts
relocated to the Veterans Home in Vineland, and, on August
11, 2007, Albert "graduated" to glory. The Gaunts are truly a living testimony that retirement
does not mean ceasing to do our LORDS work!
