Young's Point United Church History
Young’s Point United Church was founded as Ebenezer Bible Christian Church in 1878 when the first sanctuary, a small white structure built to accommodate 150 people, was built. At the inaugural service on May 24, 1878, the ...church was dedicated by Bro. E. Roberts and between 400-500 people gathered to hear Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist preachers add words of praise to what had been accomplished at the Point. By 8 p.m., tea having been served, the meeting was closed and enough monies had been raised to clear the church debt.”
There is evidence of Bible Christian ministers preaching in the area as early as 1869, as part of the Chandos and Hall’s Bridge circuits. Unfortunately, early records of the Young’s Point United Church were lost by fire, but it is known that an itinerant minister stayed at the home of William Young. By 1886, the Financial Report of the Methodist Church on the Lakefield Circuit, Peterborough District included Young’s Point. The congregation continued to be small but stalwart. By 1932, the church agreed to enter the new United Church of Canada union.
Church families increased and in 1947 a congregational meeting was held “pertaining to the building of a new church.” Because of costs, the old church building was repaired and insul-bricked. Eleven years passed and a pressing need arose for more Sunday School space. On November 21st, 1958 Aaron MacNaughton and Josiah Bullock turned the sod for the new church located right beside the old sanctuary. Dedication of the new church took place in 1962 with the Rev. Gordon Ballantyne noting: “the people of this congregation deserve great credit for their contributions which made the building of this church a reality.”
In 1968 Peterborough Presbytery met with the Young’s Point congregation suggesting that they separate from Lakefield and join with the Warsaw Pastoral Charge but this was rejected. In 1975, an “emergency meeting” was held again to inquire if Young’s Point wanted to be served by a student minister, a retired minister, or join with Wesley United Church on the Lakehurst circuit (then known as Buckhorn Pastoral Charge). The congregation moved to stay with Lakefield as a two-point charge and continue on as before. On February 3, 1957, Young’s Point began holding their Sunday services and Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. instead of 2:00 p.m. On June 4, 1978, a new electronic organ was donated to the church by the U.C.W. and dedicated at the 100th Anniversary. In 1990, two memorial stained glass windows were added to the sanctuary. Completed by local artist Larry Glover, they show the cross of Christ over the lake, land and sky of the Kawarthas. As a 125th birthday gift, Young’s Point United Church was crowned with a new steeple in 2003. In 2008 a stained glass window of Jesus and the children was installed in memory of All the Saints that have gone before us.

Lord, teach me to listen.
The times are noisy and my ears are weary with the thousand raucous sounds which continuously assault them. Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, "Speak, for Thy servant heareth." Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy voice, that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of earth die away and the only sound will be the music of Thy speaking. Amen.
