Information

The first church services in Millgrove were held before 1848 in Millgrove’s first school building. In 1850 property was purchased in the heart of Millgrove to become the location of the New Methodist Connection Tabor Church. To the west of the crossroads on a slight hill another chapel was built c. 1848. The Ryckman Chapel was named in recognition of John Warren Ryckman who was largely responsible for the building and funding of this church. For quite some time these churches operated individually until 1881 when the two congregations joined and built the present day brick church on the original location of the Ryckman Chapel. The corner stone for the church was laid in 1881 and the first service was held on January 1, 1882. In 1924 the Millgrove Methodist Church became the Millgrove United Church and still serves the people of the village today.
