The Church on Beaver Creek
The Klapp Church (Der Klapp Kirche)
The Brick Church
The actual beginning of the church dates back to the mid 1740's when George Valentine Clapp, and later his brother John Ludwig Clapp, came to the Beaver Creek area of North Carolina from Pennsylvania. The church was a German Reformed Church. The name of the church changed several times. The Church on Beaver Creek was the first name; The Klapp Church (Der Klapp Kirche) was the second name; and The Brick Church was the third name, given to it after construction began about 1813.
