This former Methodist church traces its beginnings to 1860, when the church was built. The early congregation consisted of local members, which included a liberal amount of one-time slaves from the US, who had made the long treacherous journey to Canada via the underground railroad.
Following reorganization in 1925, the congregation opted to remain Methodist, bucking the trend to realignment to the fledgling United Church of Canada. However, dwindling numbers saw the church closed and sold in the 1980's. It is now the North Buxton Community Church, a non-denominational independent Christian church.
The church is located on CR 6, just north of the Buxton National Historic Site.
