History
East Clifton United Church, initially of Methodist denomination, was organized in the 1860s. It then belonged to the Sawyerville Methodist Circuit with Randboro. In 1925, when the United Church of Canada was founded, amalgamating the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches, East Clifton Methodist Church decided to join the Union. In 1969, East Clifton United Church closed and the congregation was joined with the newly formed Eaton Valley Pastoral Charge. Since 1985, an annual service is celebrated in the church. East Clifton United Church is under the jurisdiction of the Quebec and Sherbrooke Presbytery of the Montreal and Ottawa Conference of the United Church of Canada.
