On this site a small chapel became the fourth Methodist worship site in Sackville. The present building was dedicated on October 8, 1875, replacing the earlier chapel. In 1898, an extensive enlargement and renovation brought this church into its present form. The formation of the United Church of Canada from a union of the Methodist, Congregational and part of the Presbyterian Congregations in Canada occurred in 1925. This church then became the Sackville United Church. In 1927, the church parlours were added to the rear of this building through the efforts of the then Ladies Aid Society, later renamed the United Church Women. Finally a splendid Casavant pipe organ was installed in 1928 |
