The following information was prepared by this site's Webmistress from various sources.
The first church in Clarion County was a Presbyterian congregation, organized in 1802 in Monroe Township. The first church north of the Clarion River was a German Reformed congregation that met on the site of the present [1964] Stone Church near the Jefferson County border. This building was also used by Lutheran worshippers in the area. Henry Koch, a circuit rider, was the first Reformed church pastor at that location. He also served Rimersburg and vicinity.
