Throughout my tour of downtown Moorestown I discovered several of those oval, historic contributing structure plaques. One plaque was numbered 41, so I guess that means there are at least that many in town. As indicated by the plaque out front, this church is marked as #3 of contributing structures for the Moorestown Historic District as designated by the National Register of Historic Places.
