Administrative history
Wellandport Presbyterian Church was organized in 1831 and called Chippewa Presbyterian Church, under the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Niagara in connection with the American Presbyterian Church. Around 1845 the congregation of Wellandport entered the Presbyterian Church of Canada in connection with the Church of Scotland as part of a joint charge with Dunnville. In 1865 the link with Dunnville was dissolved and Wellandport was linked with St. Ann's until 1883. In 1904 Wellandport was again linked with St. Ann's. There were some difficulties with this union in the 1920s and between 1923 and 1925 Wellandport was without regular services. In 1925 Wellandport voted to remain in the Presbyterian Church in Canada while St. Ann's entered the United Church of Canada. Wellandport was then linked with the continuing Presbyterian congregation at Smithville until 1943 when both Smithville and Wellandport were linked with St. Andrew's, Beamsville. In 1945 Wellandport was linked with Dunnville and in 1947 the congregation was closed.
