The manner in which the congregation made this decision is typical of the spirit of St. Alban's. At each step in the planning, the vestry kept the congregation informed. Alternative plans were proposed, suggestions were received from the congregation and from each church group, and every member had an opportunity to vote on the final plans.

Probably the most important milestone in the growth of the church was the establishment of St. Alban's parish in 1946. The boundaries are the Magothy River, Jumper's Hole Road, Benfield Road, and Severn Road on the south; the Pennsylvania Railroad on the west; the Patapaco River, Route 648, and Furnace Branch Road on the north; and Chesapeake Bay on the east.

Under the leadership of the Rev. John Norman Hill, Rector, and the Lay Chairmanship of Richard Carter, a Church Renovation Program was successfully completed in 1975, in which the entire interior of the church edifice was renovated; including new carpeting, painting of an walls and ceiling, cleaning and water-proofing of an stained glass windows, the refinishing of all pews and other church appointments, etc. Again, every member of the parish had opportunity to determine the nature and scope of the renovation. The over-all plan was to preserve the simplicity and beauty of the church.

The history of the building is easier to describe than the intangible body and Iife of the church, for the people make the church. Just as the present structure is an integration of the old and the new, so is the congregation. The strength of St. Alban's is in its unity, and this can be attributed to the unselfish, dependable work of old and new families alike and to the steady, dominant but not dominating spiritual leadership of its Pastors.
