Our History

Swamp Christian Fellowship is one of the oldest congregations in northern Lancaster County.

Settlers of the Reformed faith located in the vicinity of the church as early as 1727. Muddy Creek Reformed is reported to be the mother church (1730). A preaching point was established at Michael Amweg's (now Swamp) as early as 1749. In the extract of a Baptismal Book at Michael Amweg's the first baptism is dated July 20, 1749.

In 1806, our faithful forefathers engaged in the erection of the present house of worship. By invitation of the Reformed people the Lutherans worshipped in the same building and worshipped there alternately until March of 1959 when they moved into their own building a short distance away.
