Histoire administrative
St. John's Presbyterian Church in Belfast, Prince Edward Island, built on land donated by Lord Selkirk opened in 1824. It was built by the Selkirk settlers who arrived in Prince Edward Island in 1803 and who populated the surrounding communities of Belfast, Pt. Prim, Flat River, Pinette, Newtown, Wood Islands, Orwell Cove, Eldon, etc. Prior to the coming of the first resident minister Rev. John MacLennan in 1822, the congregation received occasional services and the sacrament of baptism and marriage from Dr. McGregor from Nova Scotia with more regular service provided by Dr. Angus MacAulay who, though not an ordained minister, built a chapel near his home which was used for religious services. Rev. MacLennan and his wife remained for 26 years.
For many years two services were held, one in English and one in Gaelic. They were well attended and the summer communion season required the addition of a tent to accommodate all the communicants. Although over the years an organ, a spire and tower (1860), a small addition and memorial windows (1937) were added and renovations made to the pews and the pulpit, the original church still stands and serves the congregation of Belfast and area. Many of the original communities served by St. John's however have long since built their own churches.

Présentation du contenu
The fonds contains a baptismal register recording baptisms from 1853 to 1977, two volumes of Trustees minutes from 1892 to 1948 which also include annual and congregational meeting minutes and a volume of Minutes of Session from 1858 to 1935 which deals primarily with disciplining members of the congregation who have strayed although it does touch on other church matters such as the dates for the sacrament and the raising of money. These have been intellectually arranged in the following series in anticipation of accruals:
Series 1: Vital statistics
Series 2: Trustees records
Series 3: Session minutes
