In the early part of February the work was finally done and the dedication was scheduled for Sunday, February 14th, 1869. The dedication was a day long event beginning with the morning service conducted by Brother J.J. Groenfeldt of Ephraim who preached a powerful sermon in Norwegian.
The service in the afternoon included Brother Feurig, from the Green Bay German Moravian church, and the ministers of the Congregational, Methodist and Baptist churches as well as people from their congregations. Seven ministers and six nationalities were represented. Mrs. Otto Tank was also present.
When it was time for the Baptist peacher to speak, he informed the group that a debt of $250.00 still existed on the church and suggested in very persuasive language that they take up a collection to wipe it out. A cash collection was taken but when it was counted only about one third of the money was contributed.
The Baptist preacher went to the pulpit again and this time appealed for pledges. A collection was again received and this time the amount was sufficient to pay the debt. Brother Iverson thanked the assembly in three languages and ended with a prayer of thanks and the Lord's Blessing. At 7:30 in the evening Brother Groenfeldt presided at another worship service and delivered the sermon.
The total cost of the church building was $2025.00. At the time of the dedication the congregation had 31 communicant members, 25 non-communicants and 21 children. The Sunday School had 53 students and 7 teachers.
The church building at 521 Fourth St. in Green Bay with several additions and remodelings is still used today as a place of worship. It is in fact recognized to be the oldest building used continuously as a place of worship in the Green Bay area. It is no longer used by Moravians but is now the church of the Voice of Faith congregation.
