History
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Orwell, Prince Edward Island was erected in 1861. It remained affiliated with the St. John's Presbyterian Church in Belfast, with whom it shared a minister, until 1887 when it joined with the Murray Harbour Road Church. In the same year an act was passed to incorporate the trustees of the Orwell Presbyterian Church. The Church drew its congregation from neighbouring communities as well including Kinross, Uigg, Brush Wharf and Vernon. In 1925, the Orwell congregation voted to join with the Methodist Churches of Vernon River and Cherry Valley to form a new United Church pastoral charge. In 1968, Orwell joined the congregations of Pownal, Orwell Head, Vernon River, Millview, and Cherry Valley to become the Vernon River United Church pastoral charge, worshipping in the newly constructed church, St. Andrew's at Vernon River.
