THE HISTORIC CORBETTON CHURCH

The Corbetton Wesleyan Methodist Church was built in 1885. In 1925, it became St. James United. For 112 years, the church served its community, closing in 1997. The Church building was moved to the grounds of the MoD in 1999 from the village of Corbetton in Melancthon Township. Once at the heart of its community, this restored building is now a beautiful location to host a wedding, christening, memorial, concert, presentation, or another similar gathering.
