The Pulpit Committee had selected a young man named George F. Haag who was serving as Pastor of Our Saviour Lutheran Church, Schenectady, New York. They met with him, interviewed him and on July 13, 1958 a call was issued.

He accepted and on September 1, 1958 he was installed as our eighth pastor. A Service of Installation was held at 4 p.m. with Dr. Russel Fink, President of the Rochester Conference, as speaker.
