St. Andrew’s United Church, Aylwin

Alcove United Church
St. Andrew’s United Church, Aylwin (GVHS 2157/037)

The church was first organized as a Methodist Circuit Mission in 1865. In 1876, a Presbyterian mission opened (St. Andrew's). In 1925, the Methodist and Presbyterian churches were joined into St. Andrew's United.

The neat white wooden church was built in 1871, to serve a once vigorous Presbyterian congregation.

The first incumbent of that church in Wakefield Township, the Rev. John Corbett, travelled by horseback up to Aylwin in 1856 with the Rev. Gourlay, where they conducted a service in a log building which served as a school.

The church is closed for the most part but does be opened on occasion for special events.
