A search went out for a full time Pastor. The call was arranged as a placement through the seminary.On July 11, 2009 we were blessed with Reverand George A. Kirkup who was ordained and installed as our Pastor. The presiding minister was Reverand Dr. David Benke, President of the Atlantic District, LCMS. The preacher was Rev. Bruce Nathan (former pastor here and at the time was pastor of Holy Trinity, Middle Island). After the service there was a Celebration Dinner.

In 2015 we celebrated the 150 year old Little White Church. The church was originally built in 1865 and finished the following year. Sadly the same year (2015) we lost a dear member Kathleen Reinke. Kay for years took it upon herself to be sure the little church was kept in repair. Members of the church would save all their pennies and bring them to Kay. We can't help but think of Kay when we see the little church.
