History
For many years, residents of the surrounding area worshipped at St. John's Presbyterian Church in Belfast, Prince Edward Island. By 1861, the population of the Orwell area had increased to the point where the people decided to build their own church. They were still ministered to by the pastor of St. John's until 1886 when they joined the Murray Harbour Road Church to form a new congregation. In 1928, when many congregations of the Presbyterian Church joined the United Church of Canada, Orwell and the Methodist churches of Vernon River and Cherry Valley amalgamated under the ministry of Rev. George A. Grant.
