The Zion Church edifice, commonly known as the Conley Church, near the center of Liberty Township, was built about the year 1856. It is a union church and owned jointly by the Evangelical Association and the Church of God or Winebrennarians. Rev. William Adams, of Plymouth, was the first minister of the latter denomination who preached in the township, and their services were held several years previous to the year their church was erected. The first society of the Evangelical Association was organized about the year 1846 by Rev. D. Swartz, officiating minister David Pfleiderer was the first Class-leader. In 1852, Revs. G. Haley and B. Keler perfected the organization of this congregation, and. in a few years. Zion Church was built. In the year 1879, the United Brethren Church through the labors of Rev. Moses Spahr, organized a small congregation and erected a neat chapel near the center of School District No. 6. About the year 1842, a small Baptist Conference was organized at Sulphur Springs which held services irregularly for several years.

Are there any photos/postcards of “Zion Church / Conley Church (Winebrennarian), Liberty Twp., on SR-98 west of Sulphur Springs?” I would love to see a picture of this church.
