About St. Paul’s United Church
Originally founded as Milton Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1852, St. Paul’s United Church was established in 1925 as a result of the national merger of four Protestant denominations — the Methodist Church of Canada, the Congregational Union of Ontario and Quebec, the Association of Local Union Churches and two-thirds of the congregations of the Presbyterian Church of Canada. The current sanctuary was constructed in 1891 and the Community Building, formerly the Christian Education Centre, was built in 1962.
