1965	The all Negro Washington Conference merged with the mostly white Baltimore Conference, which raised the possibility, that the two neighboring churches: St. Paul and Oxon Hill, might also merge. This did not occur.
1966	Reverend John A. Shirkey, then associate pastor of Oxon Hill United Methodist Church, was appointed minister of St. Paul from 1966 until 1969. He was one of two white pastors of a Negro congregation in the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Church. Reverend Shirkey and his wife worked diligently, especially in the organization of the youth. Numerous Ecumenical services were held and joint meetings took place between the parish and churches.
1969-1979	In June, St. Paul welcomed Reverend Roland J. R. Timothy, a citizen of Sierra Leone, West Africa, as its new pastor. Reverend Timothy’s ministry was a very active one. Ecumenical services continued, and he was in demand as a guest speaker from the outset.
1979	When St. Paul became a station in 1979, three years after being named the St. Paul Westphalia Charge, the Reverend Albert Moser, Jr., a graduate of Wesley Seminary in Washington, D.C. was appointed to be the new pastor. Increasing the church membership became one of the stated goals, and much credit is due the pastor along with his wife, Valerie, for a job well done. Many changes were made to improve the appearance of the church during this period and much of the credit is due to Brother David Robinson for initiating the effort.
