Evangelical society takes hold The first effort toward forming an Evangelical Society in Mahanoy City was in the years 1859 and 1860 when occasional meetings were held. In March 1863, the Reverends C. Ginerich and D. Lentz were stationed in the Ashland Curcuit. This curcuit included Mahanoy City.

These two men organized a class which met in the Spruce Street schoolhouse. The first church was erected at the northeast corner of Catawissa and Spruce streets, and services were held there in February 1865, although the edificewas not completed. In May 1866, the Sunday school was organized. In 1892, a division in the Evangelical Association took place and the congregation allied itself with the United Evangelical Association. On April 30, 1903, the congregation purchased the property at the northeast corner of Centre and Fourth streets, selling its former edifice to Holy Emmanuel Slovak Lutheran congregation.

The new house of worship on Centre Street was dedicated on May 29, 1904. During the pastorate of Rev. E. R. Hart occurred the merger of the United Evangelical Church and the Evangelical Association.

The congregation declared itself against the merger and became affiliated with the newly-organized Evangelical Congregational Church. Those in favor of the merger dropped-out and worshipped as an Evangelical congregation in the P.O.S. of A. Hall for a short period. This group later disbanded and affiliated with other churches.

Humane enlargement approved On February 3, 1873, Mahanoy City Borough Council adopted a resolution authorizing the enlargement of the engine house of the Humane Fire Company on Mahanoy Avenue. Also approved was the erection of a suitable brick building, fronting on Pine Street, on the present lots, to accomodate the other fire company. This building was to be 25-feet by 40-feet, two stories high, and so arranged as to make a secure place in the basement for a lockup. This building was then to become the home of the Citizens Fire which is still at that location today, and the Mahanoy City Police Department headquarters. Graduation ceremonies honoring 16 members of the McCann School of Business, Mahanoy City, were held recently at Gil's Catering Service on Mahanoy Avenue.
