History
The German-speaking residents of the Port Elgin area were first served by a missionary of the Evangelical Association Church in 1854. A church was erected at Port Elgin in 1868 and a Sunday School was organized in 1871. The Port Elgin Church became part of the Evangelical United Brethren Church in 1946, and became a church in the United Church of Canada in 1968.
