The Zion church is now the Zion United Church of Christ. It is located on Winter Hill Road, just off Old Road. It has a New Providence address but it is technically in Strasburg Township.

Old Dutch later moved into Strasburg and became St. Michael's. I'm not sure what happened to Zion. The Lancaster County Historical Society had limited records from these churches. There was also Muddy Creek Presbyterian Church which operated from 1743 to 1909. I don't think there are any church records for this church. The Southern Lancaster County Historical Society may have more information on these churches on their web page, http://www.rootsweb.com/~paslchs/ Jim Does anyone on the list know what churches were in existence in Martic Twp., Lancaster Co., PA in the 1730's to the 1780's? Are there any church records or cemetery records available for this time frame?
