and the support of his fellow beings within the community.[8] By the 1920's the Dunkard Church here became the multi -denominational, Congregational Church intended to serve the broader Roseland community. As the Clay Township community's primary church it initially embraced sixteen denominations. During the same period the cemetery began to be referred to as the Roseland Community Cemetery. The original church structure, a small, gable -front frame building, had served the Dunkard congregation here until 1922; thereafter the Congregational built a new structure standing farther back from Cleveland Road. In the 1930's, however, the original pews and white communion table from the older building were still in use in the new church building.[9] As a result of the multi -denominational representation the church membership increased manifold. The new church no longer had to waste time on settling denominational rivalries but instead concentrated its energies and resources on community related tasks.[10] Based upon its increased responsibilities, it became a necessity to expand and remodel the church facilities. The remodeling process was to add 7,000 square feet of additional floor space, thereby doubling the church's capacity. According to the architect, Willard M.

From merely performing religious rites it also undertook the function of social welfare of the entire community. The church provided relief for needy people, which assumed significant proportions under the direction of Rev. R. Kidder Stetson and Mrs. Stetson. They provided several tons of clothing and food to the impoverished. The church provided relief to the suffering and the needy, who lived in and around Roseland. The church roster in 1932 listed 170 members with the Sunday school rolls including 250, with ever expanding membership.[12] The remodeling and enlarging of the church eventually cost $5,000.00. This was to provide increased facilities for church services, religious education and social programs. By the late 1930's the church was already composed of 18 denominations and conducted church classes for all ages, supporting groups like the Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Youth Fellowship, the Men's Brotherhood and adult and junior choirs.[13] The financial campaign committee for the rebuilding and remodeling project was composed of the following committee members: C.F.
