History
Located in Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens, the Mission de l'Église Unie aux Saints Martyrs Canadiens, probably of Presbyterian denomination when it was established in the 19th century, was previously called Église du Rang de la Montagne. The church membership was mostly francophone. For unknown reasons, the Mission seems to have been related somehow to many other missions over the years: St. Paul de Chester Mission (Methodist denomination); St. Philippe de Chester Mission (Methodist denomination until 1911, then becoming Presbyterian); Missions of Agnes, Megantic, and surrounding places (Presbyterian denomination); and North Ham Mission (Presbyterian denomination). The Mission de l'Église Unie aux Saints Martyrs Canadiens was under the jurisdiction of the Quebec and Sherbrooke Presbytery of the Montreal and Ottawa Conference of the United Church of Canada.
