Description

The Reformed Church of Bushkill traces its history from 1737, when a group of Reformed churches was established in the Delaware valley. We've been ministering on our present site since 1832. Beyond that, not a lot of history is known about the church - many early documents were lost in a couple of fires down through the years. To be honest, that's okay. The more recent history of the Reformed Church is a lot more interesting. It wasn't that long ago that we'd have to admit our church had lost its way. We were down to a dozen or fifteen worshippers on Sunday mornings. Church life consisted of constant concern over money issues. The federal government had purchased the entire village we served (including the church) and it became part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. We were a church without a constituency, and, frankly, we wouldn't have known what to do if we had one.
