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.    [from a booklet published in 1983 for the church's 150th anniversary]

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