The Peace Church, also known as Die Frieden Kirche, is an historic, American Reformed and Lutheran church that is located in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

History and architectural features

Built circa 1798 by a Reformed congregation, this historic structure is a 2+1⁄2-story, limestone building with a five-bay front and three-bay sides. In 1806, the local Lutheran congregation was invited "in peace" to share the building for services. Its builder, Martin Rupp, also built the Johannes Eberly House. The interior features a wine glass pulpit, balcony around three sides, and organ that was installed in 1807.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
