Biographical history
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Inverness, was first organized in 1838. In 1839, the first church ("Old Kirk") was erected, and in 1862, the present church was built. In 1925, when the United Church of Canada was founded, amalgamating the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational Churches, the St.Andrew's Presbyterian Church decided not to join the Union. However, Inverness Methodist church did join, creating the Inverness United Church. In 1946, the Presbyterian and United Church congregations in Inverness joined together for worship, becoming the first congregations in Canada to co-operate in such a manner. Inverness United Church and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church have had a shared ministry in place since 1960. In 1960, Inverness United Church sold its church building as a means of alleviating the cost of maintaining two buildings, as both congregations -- the Presbyterian and United Church -- worship together. Worship now takes place at Inverness's St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The Church is governed by the congregation and the Church Courts (Board of Managers and Session) in co-operation with committees, societies, and organizations within the Church.

General note
Title based on contents of fonds.
The fonds was loaned for 50 years in 1996 by the Presbytery of Quebec of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.
The classification of the fonds is based on the file classification plan established by Sylvie Côté, ETRC Archivist, for local Presbyterian Church records. Individual churches do not all have records falling in each of the system's prearranged series, subseries, and files. This fonds is an example, as it comprises only five series out of a possible nine.
