Who we are
We are a small informal church. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. We seek to glorify Him and serve Him. Sermons are Bible-based. A handout is included with the bulletin listing all Bible verses used in that Sunday's service. Members are being trained in righteousness so as to be ready for the return of our Lord and King, Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to follow Christ and glorify God. Our action plan is to increase our prayer levels, skills, and intensity, so the Spirit can glorify God through us. We are members of the Conservative Congregational Christian Conference.
The congregation chooses "elders" to run the day-to-day activities of the church. We have congregational meetings to vote on the larger issues. Men and women serve as deacons and elders.
Our church was founded in 1833. Originally it was named Muskingum Church. Then it joined the Presbyterian denomination. Until 2017 it was known as Muskingum Presbyterian Church. Then we left PC(USA) and joined the 4 C's. (Conservative Congregationalist Christian Conference). We have about 37 members, a dozen children, and several non-members who are part of the fellowship. You do not have to join to be part of the fellowship and participate in activities and small groups.

Muskingum Church History
Here is a summary of our long history: In 1829 a log building was constructed on a 1.5 acre plot of land on a country road in Muskingum Township. It was called the Muskingum Meeting House. The land was donated by Levi Cooper, Robert Welsh, and David Rierson. Today that road is called Gorsuch Road. In August of 1833, the congregation voted unanimously to be a separate church called "The Church at Muskingum," or "Muskingum Church."
On September 19, 1833, the Presbytery authorized the organization of Muskingum Presbyterian Church at that site. There were 99 members of the church to begin with, including three elders: John McDonald, Joseph McDonald, and Benjamin Welsh. The first known Clerk of Session was Sam Frazier, in 1849. The church did not have a regular minister from 1849 to 1867. In 1877 the present church building was constructed by contractors George and John Henke.
In the 1950s a building committee was organized to raise money for repairs to the structure. A severe windstorm removed the church steeple in the spring of 1961, and it had to be replaced. The church sponsored a concession stand at the Muskingum County Fair to help raise funds. In August of 1964, following church services, ground was broken for the addition of Sunday School rooms and a kitchen built onto the back of the original 1877 structure.
Muskingum Presbyterian Church and Dresden Presbyterian Church were yoked from 1895 until 1944. Then Muskingum Presbyterian yoked with Frazeysburg Presbyterian from 1944 until 2013. We changed our name back to Muskingum Church in 2018, and are served by a minister licensed by the CCCC.
Today, we are a small but vibrant community of dedicated Christians who meet Sunday mornings to learn the Word of God. Members dress informally. Jeans and t-shirts are okay. From October to June we have children's Sunday School during part of the service (Children are dismissed to Sunday School after the Children's sermon). We have an average weekly attendance of 40-50 people, including a dozen children. Everyone is welcome!
