History
Erle United Church, initially of Methodist denomination, was organized in the 19th century as part of the Marbleton Mission, which included Dudswell, Marbleton and Bishop's Crossing (now Bishopton). In 1925, when the United Church of Canada was founded, amalgamating the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational Churches, the Erle Methodist Church decided to join the Union. Erle United Church was under the jurisdiction of the Quebec and Sherbrooke Presbytery of the Montreal and Ottawa Conference of the United Church of Canada.
