Two years later, a wooden meeting house was constructed, but was not the normal style for a regular church.
The third church was opened in January 1819, when the society was moved off the local State Road (now U.S. Route 20).
Just seven years after the creation of Marcellus, the town's residents opened their first worship society on October 13, 1801.
[1] The religious society now opened in Marcellus, had four men in charge as trustees, Dan Bradley, Martin Godard, Thomas North, and Nathan Kelsey.
The vote supported, and three men: Nathan Leonard, Samuel Tyler and James Geddes, Esquire were then hired to select a site for the future building.
The second church, started off for the first 20 years well, but after death and migrations, did not gain very much support and this later decided its fate.
Also during this time, the first church, back in the village, was given improvements, including a new steeple, painted and extended, all at a cost of $4,500 (1814 USD).
The old meeting house was sold at a cost of $500 (1850 USD), which would go to building a brand new church.
[1] Construction of a brand new church in downtown Marcellus started and completed, and by 1851, it was finished.
To celebrate this anniversary, Smith wrote a complete history in text of the church.
Places where this were performed include Marcellus Falls (north of town), and Shepard Settlement, a nearby hamlet.
Reverend McNaughton helped celebrate the 100th anniversary of the church on October 13, 1901, with a large program arranged.
These sheds were rented for several years to local car owners as garages.
From 1948 to 1956, Reverend Ralph Miller ran the congregation, and in this time, the church itself sustained some changes.
The construction helped add a kitchen, dining room, lounge and several new classrooms into the church.
