*Zion's Evangelical Lutheran Church: The congregation decided to dismantle the log church and build a new one on the same site in 1854. In the log church it had been custom for males and females to sit on opposite sides of the aisle. In the new church families were encouraged to sit and worship together. In 1885 the noise of the neighboring Pennsylvania Railroad became too heavy to bear and a new lot was purchased. The new church with adjacent Sunday School rooms was finished in 1888. That building served the congregation for forty years until sometime between 1921 and 1923 when a Gothic building made of Indiana Limestone was built on the same site and a Moeller pipe organ was installed. A religious education plant was added to the main building in 1963, providing the community with one of the most prominent worship-educational facilities in the commonwealth at that time.

* St. Mathew's Episcopal Church: Episcopalian services in Sunbury began in 1812 when Reverend Caleb Hopkins moved into the town. Services were held in the old Zion Lutheran Church until 1820 when the congregation received permission to conduct Sunday school classes in the Jury Room of the Court of Northumberland. This was the first Sunday school to be organized in Sunbury. By 1826 members decided to establish a parish in Sunbury. Articles of Incorporation were completed by April 24, 1827 and a church building was dedicated on December 7, 1836. A new building was added to the old in 1854 and the church was further enlarged in 1885.
