The influx of Germans from Poland and Prussia into eastern Volhynia during the 1860s caused the second division of the Zhitomir Parish in 1869. Already in 1864, Heinrich Wasem, who had played a similar role as vicar in forming the Roshischtsche Parish, took up residence as vicar in Staraja Buda, with the intention of forming a new parish there. The parish lay in the counties of Zhitomir and Nowograd-Wolynsk and in 1869 had about 6000 parishioners in 20 communities. A stone church, called the "Jesus Church", was completed in 1878, soon followed by a stone manse. At first there was a rapid turnover of pastors until stability was attained with the arrival of Pastor Johannsen in 1886. The need to educate sexton/teachers (cantors) led in 1897 to efforts to establish a school for that purpose. The school became a reality in 1904 and received a building of its own in 1908. It served the Provinces of Volhynia, Podolia, Kiev and Chernigov.
By 1896 the number of parishioners had grown to about 20,000, located in nearly 100 colonies. This created a need for creating a new parish (or "permanent adjunct" of Heimtal) centered in Emiltschin in that year.
