A view of the church and some of the oldest stones in the cemetery.  A very large portion of the cemetery is across the street from the church (to the right in this photo).  Photo taken August 2003.

St. Paul's Lutheran and Reformed Church is locally known in this township as Wolf's Church, in honor of Peter Wolf, an early settler.  In 1762 two and one-half acres were purchased from Adam Zeigler for 5 pounds, six shillings, 5 pence, for church property.  In 1763 a congregation was organized by Rev. Nicholas Hornell, then pastor of the Christ Lutheran Church at York, and a frame church was built.  About twenty-five years later this building was enlarged and remodeled.  In 1855 the present large and commodious church was built while the Lutheran congregation was under the pastoral care of Rev. C. J. Deininger, and the Reformed under Rev. Daniel Zeigler.

The ministers present at the cornerstone laying of the present church were Revs. A. G. Deininger and J. Bossler.  The successive pastors of the Lutheran congregation were Revs. Hornell, Bager, N. Kurtz, Jacob Goering, J. G. Schmucker, J. Oswald, A. G. Deininger, C. J. Deininger, and J. H. Leeser.  Rev. Adam Stump D. D., has been pastor since 1890.  The congregation had a membership in 1907 of 400.  The Reformed congregation was first served by the pastors from York, including Revs. Jacob Lischy, George Geistweite and others.  Revs. Daniel Zeigler, W. Kehm, Jacob Zeigler and I. S. Weisz succeeded each other in the order named.  Rev. O. P. Schellhamer has been pastor since 1894.  The congregation in 1907 had a membership of 200.  The church is located in a rich agricultural region, about five miles west of York, one-third of a mile south of the "old five mile house" originally owned by Peter Wolf, on the York and Gettysburg Turnpike.

The attendance at Wolf's Church is very large, and it has for 144 years been a central point of interest in this township.
