Administrative history
The congregation of West Flamborough Presbyterian Church in West Flamborough, Ontario dates from 1832, when the Rev. Thomas Christie, a minister with the United Associate Synod of the Secession Church of Scotland, arrived to the area from Orkney, Scotland. He soon established a congregation and by 1833 a church building had been constructed. He served as minister to the congregation for many years before passing away in 1870. In 1866, a new stone church was built to replace the original frame building. A manse was constructed in 1867. In December 1883, the West Flamborough church was joined (with one Kirk Session) with the church in Lynden. This relationship continued until the two were separated in 1905. In 1925, the congregation voted to remain within The Presbyterian Church in Canada, and was linked as a two-point charge with the church in Kirkwall. In 1930, the congregation in Sheffield was added to the charge. In 1955, these links were dissolved and West Flamborough continued as a one-point charge.
