Donna, Here's a little info... 2 different sources. Upper Bermudian "Ground Oak" Union Church, Huntington Twp. The church was built circa 1782. The record of the baptisms begin in 1791. Records: 1791-1874. Location of copies are at the Adams Hist. Soc. #H5; York Hist Soc. #VV2; Hist Soc of Pa #A/3L. more..... Ground Oaks to Mt. Zion .... Among the early pioneers of the Lutheran Church in America was a man by the name of Rev. Lucas Raus. He arrived at the port of Philadelphia in 1749 and eventually made his way into what is known today as Adams County. It was here where he founded the Upper Bermudian Church, also known as Ground Oak Church in 1770. Around the year 1868, there emerged from this congregation a group of men and women who was to organize the Mt. Zion congregation in current day Cumberland County, however the congregation was not organized until February 6, 1869. There were approximately 85 - 100 members in this first congregation. The earlier records to 1800 were published by Willow Bend Books in a book called "Adams County Church Records of the 18th Century". I have not found any info on why the church was named Ground Oaks, but I'm guessing it had to do with the trees in that region.
