Freeland Presbyterian Church History
Presbyterianism in Freeland grew from the shifting of Presbyterian families from the nearby vicinities of Eckley, Upper Lehigh and Sandy Run, all of which are older communities than Freeland, and in which churches had earlier been established. The Eckley Church was founded 1861, the Upper Lehigh Church in 1868, and the Sandy Run Church in 1886. As Freeland grew these outlying communities declined, and in turn, their Presbyterians moved to Freeland. The first move was from Eckley and in 1894 the Eckley Church building was moved to Freeland, and erected upon the present site. Later in 1916, during the pastorate of Rev. Howard J. Bell, the Church was remodeled and the manse was built. Then in 1918 the Upper Lehigh congregation agreed to become a part of the Union Presbyterian Church of Freeland, though still holding services in the Upper Lehigh Church. Later the Church building at Upper Lehigh was sold and the membership of the Church transferred to Freeland. In like manner the Sandy Run Church carried on in their building until it was decided that they too would abandon the use of their Church as a preaching place and they too came to Freeland. Photo of Sandy Run Presbyterian Church appears courtesy of John Zubach.
In 1929 the name Union Presbyterian Church was changed to the Presbyterian Church of Freeland. A Sunday School was continued in the Sandy Run Church and one preaching service per month until 1942, when it was decided to discontinue services in the Sandy Run Church. The Church building was in bad repair and it seemed best to sell the building. This was done last year. The furniture was brought to the Freeland Church, as weas the bell which has been hung in our belfry and is to be dedicated as part of this Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration. The bell had been presented to the Sandy Run Church by Mrs. Anna Kemmerer in 1884, thus had called folks to worship at Sandy Run for 50 years, and it is appropriate that it should be dedicated again to begin another half century of service for us as we begin our second fifty years in this Church. The old bell which was taken from the Church tower will be mounted and kept as a sacred memento in the Church. Postcard image at left appears courtesy of Captain Clint.
