St Andrew's Presbyterian traces its roots to 1920, when it was organized by the Rev. Robert Boyd. The first church was consecrated in 1822. By the late 1840's an growing congregation necessitated a larger, stone church.
This church was almost totally destroyed by fire in 1892. However, the congregation rebuilt this church and replaced all its fittings by 1894. This church is still in use.
In 1925, following Church Union in Canada, the majority of the congregation elected to remain under the Presbyterian Banner.
In the late 2010's, St Andrew's joined with St Andrew's-Knox in Spencerville as a two-church "charge" under one minister.
Both Churches continue with separate services and activities.
Sunday Services are at 11:00.
