The story of Grace Church began with intermittent services held in 1840, with some records showing some may have been held even earlier. Our church was officially incorporated on June 14, 1849, as “Zion Reformed Church.”

In 1840 a church building was built by the Lutheran congregation that they called “Mount Zion Church.” It was a small, wood frame building located at the site of the current Stone Creek Cemetery, which was at the time part of the farm of John Hawk. When German Reformed settlers moved to Stone Creek, they started to meet in a barn belonging to John Hawk where the Lutheran’s used to meet, but they soon outgrew the barn and started to meet in the Lutheran’s church building, so in 1849 our congregation officially entered into an agreement with the Lutheran congregation to jointly own and maintain the property of the first church building. Until 1941, both our church and the Lutheran church were named “Zion.”

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
