Its History
The church is named after nearby Turkey Run Creek, one of two creeks with the same name in Fairfield County. At one time it was known as the Predestinarian Regular Primitive Baptist Church.
The congregation was established September 6, 1817, by Eli Ashbrook and Jacob Tharp. For a long time, the congregation did not have a building of its own but met in a nearby schoolhouse. Using bricks that were made on site, a church was finally built and dedicated in 1835.
In 2000, the last three members made a gift of the church and the Turkey Run Cemetery to Fairfield County Parks. The last service to be held at the church was in September 2001.
