HISTORY
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church (Molesworth, Ont.) was established as a congregation in 1863 as part of a four point charge with Monkton, Atwood and Listowel. Attempts to organize a congregation had been made as early as 1861. A church building was constructed at Molesworth in 1868. The charge was separated in this year and Listowel and Molesworth remained together. They called the Rev. J. W. Bell to be their minister. The Presbytery of Stratford separated Molesworth and Listowel in 1876 and Molesworth united with the newly formed Trowbridge. Molesworth became a lone self-supporting congregation in 1889. A new church was dedicated in November 1897, it was at this time that the name St. Andrew’s was chosen. During the time of Church Union in 1925, the majority of the St. Andrew’s congregation chose to remain a part of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Shortly after Union, St. Andrew’s was united with Gorrie as a two point charge.
The Gorrie Congregation was amalgamated with Molesworth in 2004 to become a one point charge. As of June 2016, St. Andrew’s Molesworth has again become a two point charge with Melville Presbyterian Church, Brussels.   In August of 2017 we welcomed our new minister, Rev. Charmila Ireland. Rev. Ireland left St. Andrew’s in July of 2022 to pursue a career as a full time chaplain for the Canadian Forces.
