Klopp's Church was a union church, Lutheran and Reformed. St. Paul's Reformed (now U.C.C.) split from the Klopp's Reformed congregation in the 19th century in some sort of squabble. The national U.C.C. directory lists St. Paul's founding date as 1752, but I'm not sure if the "original" congregation moved to the "new" and separate building across the street and up a slight hill, leaving a "new" congregation to remain in the old Klopp's building, or whether the "original" congregation stayed in the old place and a break-away congregation established St. Paul's church in the "new" brick building. It could be that the latter occurred but that the newly-merged congregation dates herself from the original founding date. Perhaps someone else can clarity this history. Somewhere ca. 1950's a wall of the old stone Klopp's Church collapsed during a construction job, requiring the entire building to be razed. I believe it was at that time that the two Reformed congregations get back together and in the "new" brick building of the 19th century, leaving the Lutherans to erect a new building on the old Klopp's site by themselves. I don't know the current status of the Lutheran congregation. Cordially, Karl E. Moyer Lancaster PA
