After about a year of existence, the Board of Trustees dissolved and Church services in the Eagles' Hall were stopped.
In the early years the treasury often lacked the necessary funds to conduct the church's business, and the community was called upon to give their time and talents.

On Saturday, December 19, Bishop-elect Ioannis of Phocaea was ordained by Archbishop Elpidophoros of America at the Church of St. George in Piscataway, New Jersey.
In his statements to the newspaper The National Herald, the newly ordained bishop stressed that the experience of the history of the Church and the descent of the Holy Spirit caused him enormous tension to the point that it took half an hour to recover after the ordination.
On his part, Archbishop Elpidophoros, addressing the Bishop-elect of Phocaea, Ioannis, stated that, by a blessed happenstance, they found themselves there in Piscataway, “in the parish that you served when you were first ordained a priest.” Addressing those present, the Archbishop of America stressed that many may be surprised to learn that Phocaea, on the coast of Asia Minor, was the center of Hellenic life and thought over two-thousand-five-hundred years ago.
Deacon Simeon was ordained on October 21, 2023, with the presence of His Eminence Bishop Apostolos and Chancellor V. Rev.
