The church’s 150th anniversary was actually last year in 2022, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, was unable to receive their proclamation from the borough. Council President Coulson said in her proclamation that Harvey Memorial is “an integral and vital part of the growth, longevity and life of the community.” She also wished the church a hopeful and happy next 150 years within the borough.
Harvey Memorial is located on 1120 Arnold Ave., next to the Dunkin Donuts in Point Pleasant Borough.
