From the Year Book and Church Directory 1929-1930
of the Oakwood Methodist Episcopal Church, Elmira Heights,
N.Y.
The Oakwood Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church was begun in 1895, by the organization of a Sunday School on the Industrial Grounds, in the old Fair Building, which is now the site of the Thatcher Manufacturing Co. Many of the teachers came from the First Methodist Church of Elmira, with their Pastor, the Rev. E. M. Mills. Among them were William Bennett, E. D. Calkins, and Joseph Robinson. Mr. Bennett became the first Superintendent.
In the early summer, the school now known as School One, Elmira Heights, was completed, and the trustees allowed the Sunday School and Church to hold their sessions in this building. Dr. Mills preached during the summer.
October 10, 1895, the Rev. Colson E. Ferguson, a man who was characterized as the “man for hard jobs,” was appointed Pastor, without fold or flock, and the first and most important consideration was to push the erection of a building. Subscriptions were generously made and a sufficient amount raised to guarantee the building of a place of worship. In the Spring of 1896, the ground was broken for what is now the Oakwood Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, so named by the Pastor, The Rev. C. E. Ferguson. So rapidly grew the work that in the Fall of 1896, the church was completed and dedicated.
J. C. Ferguson became Superintendent of the Sunday School, which office
he has held from that time till the present time. At the close of
the first Pastorate in 1900, the church was free from debt. Others
who have built upon the foundations thus laid were the Rev. C. C. Reynolds,
during whose pastorate, a parsonage was purchased at 202 West Twelfth Street;
the Rev. A. W. Fenton, from 1901 to 1905; the Rev. Frank Hamilton, 1905-6;
the Rev. P. J. Williams, 1906-8; the Rev. F. M. Windnagle, 1908-13, during
whose Pastorate, the present parsonage was purchased; the Rev. Mark E.
Bowman, 1913-16. So rapid has been the growth of the church, than
an enlargement program became necessary, and this was accomplished during
the Pastorate of the Rev. Charles D. Purdy, 1916-18, at a cost of $25,000.
The Rev. Alfred P. Coman served from 1918-23. Again the building
project confronted the membership, as additional Sunday School accommodations
were required, and during the Pastorate of the Rev. Chas. W. Walker, 1923-25,
the Oakwood Community House was built at a cost of $56,000, $39,000 of
which has already been paid. This building has proved a recreational
center, not only for the Oakwood Constituency, but for the Community as
well. The Rev. Ernest A. Mathews followed as Pastor from 1925-9.
The present Pastor, the Rev. Ernest W. Collings, under whose direction
this Directory has been compiled, is now serving the first year of what
promises to be a successful pastorate, which is evidenced by large congregations
and the hearty co-operation of the members and congregation. The abundant
harvest of Oakwood’s Church life, in its large membership and multitude
of activities, is due in a large measure to the consecrated pastors, who
have been the sowers of the good seed, as no church has been more blessed
with better shepherds of the flock.
