History

In the Nineteenth century, local folks organized a Sunday school held in a schoolhouse on Street Road. In 1844, ground was purchased across from the Green Lawn Seminary for Girls on Wollaston Road, and a small chapel was erected. An area designated for a cemetery was included on the property and is now our Memorial Garden. By the encouragement of the home Missions Board of the Presbyterian Church, Unionville and Toughkenamon congregations shared a pastor. The shared pastor lived halfway in between, in a house on Newark Road, one half-mile below London Grove. In the 1920's, several families of the Unionville Friends Meeting came to encourage us. Community service continues to be the major focus of our Christian ministry.
