In 1801 the nave was renewed. From 1840 the Mulsum farmers refused to pay tithes , which were subsequently waived.

In 1874 the new cemetery was inaugurated on the outskirts and the old cemetery at the church was closed.
In 1920 the tower clock was installed by the master watchmaker Wülpern. The striking bell came from 1741 and was cast by Johann Andreas Bieber from Hamburg .
In 1933/1934 the interior and especially the altar and pulpit were renovated. New and more comfortable seating and electrical lighting were purchased in 1962. Further renovation measures followed in 1995/96 and 1998–2001.
