The Christ Reformed Church is known as the "Mother of Reformed Churches". It was founded by Reverend Michael Schlatter who responded to a request made to Holland. Before volunteering to go to Pennsylvania he served for two years in Switzerland. In 1751 he returned to Holland.
In 1782 the congregation erected a log cabin on land deeded to them by Heinrech Cookus in 1774. It was also used by local Lutheran and Presbyterian congregations until they had built their own churches in 1795.
The bells of the church, obtained through much effort by Michael Yeasley, are a source of pride for the congregation to this day.
There is a find a grave page for its graveyard. https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/1970799/christ-united-church-of-christ-cemetery
