Zion Stone Church, also known as Cornerstone Calvary Fellowship Inc., Augustaville, is a historic Lutheran and Reformed church on Tulpehocken Road in the hamlet of Augustaville, Rockefeller Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. It was built between 1814 and 1816, and is a two-story, reddish-brown stone building with an addition added in 2016 (not in picture). It is an example of early-19th century Germanic style architecture. It was originally a one-story building; the second floor was added in 1861. Major repairs occurred in 1883, 1930, and 1936. Adjacent to the church is a cemetery with burials dating to 1793.[2]
