St. Andrew's United Church History
The Presbyterian congregation began worshipping in the Village c. 1865. They built a small frame church here on the present site of St. Andrew’s United Church, at 34 Main Street. This was replaced by the current stone church in 1906 under the direction of stonemason Billy Johnson, who also constructed St. Matthews in East Oxford.
The stone was drawn by horse and wagon from Deeks Quarry between the train tracks and the Scotch Line on the way to Burritt’s Rapids. The cost to build the Church in 1906 was just under $6,800. Various fundraising efforts were undertaken to pay for the new Church, including subscriptions, donations, picnics and dinners. Some of the local residents set up a fundraiser on their own: an ice cream parlour first operated by Mrs. Molly McLees and later by Gordon and Grace Greer, known as ‘Molly Mack’s Presbyterian Ice Cream Parlour’. Proceeds from the ice cream went to the building fund for the Presbyterian Church, built in 1906.
Notable features of St. Andrew’s include the bell and bell tower. The bell in the bell tower is much larger than most in the area. In 1906 the cost of the bell was $80. In the bell tower entrance there are two ropes – one for ringing the bell, and one for tolling. Also, behind the altar area is a stained-glass window, depicting the outstretched arms of Jesus. This was donated by Nathaniel and Rebecca Greer as a memorial to their two young daughters, Mary and Margaret, whom they lost to Scarlet Fever the year the Church was built.
In 1925, Church Union took place, and the Presbyterian Church became St. Andrew’s United Church, which it remains today.

You are...
You are the shade in the heat, You are shelter in the cold, You are eyes to the blind, You are a staff to the pilgrim, You are an island in the sea, You are a stronghold upon land, You are healing to the sick. You are the luck of every joy, You are the light of the sun's beam, You are the door of lordly welcome, You are the pole star of guidance, You are the step of the roe of the height, You are the step of the white-faced mare, You are the grace of the swimming swan, You are the jewel in each mystery.
