In 1899, Van Dyke resigned his position and recommended the church call Maltbie D. Babcock as the congregation's next minister. Van Dyke has been appointed chair of English Literature at Princeton University about a year prior, but the congregation asked that he stay in the position until a successor was selected. After Babcock's untimely death in 1901, Van Dyke returned to assist the congregation once more until it could call another leader. Van Dyke returned to the pulpit yet again after William Richards died and William Merrill was called in 1911.

He preached his first Brick Church sermon in January of 1900, but died tragically a year and a half later in Naples, after contracting gastric fever on a trip to the Holy Land with other ministers. The community was overcome with grief. Van Dyke returned to Brick Church and presided at Babcock's funeral, he was so moved that he "spoke slowly, sometimes with difficulty, at times pausing frequently to wiping away tears from his eyes."

William R. Richards served from 1902 to 1910. Richards was installed October 26, 1902 and served until his sudden death January 7, 1910 from heart disease. According to the New York Times he was one of the best-known ministers in the country whose sermons were read and distributed widely.

William P. Merrill served from 1911 to 1938. Merrill was minister at The Brick Church for 27 years. He was called and installed in 1911 and retired before the congregation moved to its present location on Park Ave. Also an author and composer, he died on June 19, 1954.
