Middlebush Reformed Church

Middlebush Reformed Church is a stone church building in Franklin Township featuring Gothic Revival and American Craftsman architectural details. The structure includes red entrance doors and dates to 1919 as a place of worship for the local community.

The original church from 1834 was destroyed by lightning in 1917. The current stone structure was constructed in 1919 using materials from a nearby quarry.

The congregation maintains its Dutch Reformed roots while serving as a gathering place for the local community through worship and events. People continue to use the building as a space for both spiritual life and neighborhood connections.

The church is located at South Middlebush Road and is easily accessible for visits. Check the church website for service times and community event information before planning your visit.

A kerosene lamp rescued from the original building during the 1917 fire still hangs inside as a reminder of the past. This small object directly connects the present to events from nearly two centuries ago.
