Asbury and West United Church in North York was established in 1947 upon the union of Asbury United Church in North York and the Toronto congregation of West United Church. The new congregation used the Asbury building which is located at 3180 Bathurst Street at Woburn Avenue, just north of Lawrence Avenue.
Asbury United Church in North York was established in 1925; formerly Asbury Methodist Church. It was located at 3180 Bathurst Street at Woburn Avenue, just north of Lawrence Avenue. Asbury was a point on the Downsview Methodist Circuit (from 1917 onward) and on the Downsview Pastoral Charge. In 1947 Asbury United Church united with West United Church to form Asbury and West United Church in the Asbury building.
West United Church in Toronto was established in 1925; formerly West Presbyterian Church, which was established ca. 1860 and held services in a building on the corner of Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue. Shortly after 1860, the congregation moved a few blocks west to Dennison Avenue and Wolseley Street (just north of Queen). In 1912 the congregation moved to a new building at College Street and Montrose Avenue (near Ossington Avenue). The congregation was expanded in 1928 with the addition of Clinton Street United Church; In the 1940s, West United started to consider re-locating to north Toronto, and, upon the invitation of Asbury United Church in North York, united with that congregation in 1947 to form Asbury and West United Church in the Asbury building.
