Christian Services

Twenty-first century pilgrims can join in a “living history” religious celebration at Alley Park, south of Lancaster, Ohio. Christianity appeared in what was to become Fairfield County in 1799 with the forming of a Methodist Society under the leadership of Edward Teel, who had previously been a class-leader in Baltimore County, Maryland. 		  Pastor and Bagpipe player
The meeting place was in the Teel cabin on Zane’s Trace, three miles east of the present City of Lancaster, Ohio. Five families; the Teels, the Jesse Spurgeons, the lshmael Dews, the Nimrod Brights and the Elijah Spurgeons, formed the group.

They were visited by circuit riding Methodist preachers, James Quinn, Jesse Stoneman and Joseph Chenowith, from the Muskingum and Hocking Districts. The public is invited to join with the Frontier Players Association in a non-denominational Christian service.

This celebration will be enacted as in 1799 during their “living History” weekend on Sunday, 9 a.m. at Lancaster Parks and Recreation’s Alley Park, 1.4 mile South of Lancaster, Ohio on Old Logan Road, off US Route 33.

Everyone is encouraged to bring their own lawn chair seating.

Costumed cast members from the Drama “Frontier Spirit 1799” will join the public and relive a religious service of two hundred years ago.

During the service, of approximately one hour, a free - will offering will be taken and donated to local charities.
