History: During the first few years the area was served by visiting ministers from Boston, Streetsville and Whitechurch. In 1835 a log church was erected on Lot 23 on land given by James Fraser. The congregation had previously worshipped in Fraser’s barn on Lot 22. A frame church was built in 1848. In 1883 a building committee was appointed to look into erecting a new church. Mallory & Son of Toronto were the architects, Hume and Steele of Georgetown the masons, and Joseph Bramley of Brampton. The stone church which stands to this day opened in 1884.

The cemetery is still open for burials and a burial register has been kept.
