Several delays in the construction of the two wings made it necessary to reschedule the consecration ceremonies for September 8, 1963. Bishop Hazen G. Werner presided at the consecration service, with Harold Kellog, District Superintendent, Pastor Chester Imhausen, Pastor William Reiley, and Donald Kear, Chairman of the Building Committee, participating in the service. Former Pastor Imhausen was invited back to Community for the occasion in view of his past leadership in the first building program and he gave the sermon for the first worship service.
At the Official Board meeting held in July 1963, Rafael Marderosian, Chairman of the Commission on Education, proposed that Community Methodist Church establish a kindergarten to begin in September of that year if a favorable response was obtained from a questionnaire submitted to the church membership. The Mad River Board of Education did not operate a public kindergarten at this time because of a lack of finances. The kindergarten was to be called Eastview Kindergarten and was sponsored by Community Methodist Church under the administrative control of the Kindergarten Committee. A nominal fee was charged for each student and enrollment was not limited to church families. This student fee was designed to meet the actual school expenses for operating the bus, maintenance, salaries of the teaching staff. From time to time, however, excess funds resulted and the Kindergarten Committee voted to purchase much needed items for Community, such as pianos and choir robes. Mrs. Doris Williams was selected as director of the school, but after one year was succeeded by Mrs Nadine Nagel. The kindergarten continued in operation until public kindergarten was established for the township.
