- History / Biographical
- A number of people of the Evangelical faith who lived in Rodney attended services at Churchville. In 1890 they formed their own congregation in Rodney, services being held Sunday afternoons in the Baptist church. In 1898 property was purchased from Mr. and Mrs. James Yale, and a church was built. In 1924, the church was raised and a basement was put under it, and a front entrance added. When the Churchville church was destroyed by fire in 1948, the two congregations amalgamated and in 1949 became known as Calvary Memorial Evangelical United Brethren. In 1968, the congregation joined with the Rodney United Church of Canada to become Calvary United Church. The Evangelical church building was sold as a residence.
