The History of Sharon Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church
The History of Sharon Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church Sharon ARP Church was organized in 1796.

The second church building was built in 1847. The third building was built in 1923, and the congregation still worships in that building to the present day. Rev. William Dixon was the church’s first pastor, serving from 1797 until 1825. Rev. Robert Armstrong Ross holds the longest tenure, having served for fifty years (1843-1893). Eighteen men have served as pastor of the Sharon ARP church since its birth.
