Biographical history

Griswold Methodist Church existed in the Manitoba community of Griswold, located west of Brandon in the Rural Municipality of Sifton, from 1889 to 1919. The first services were conducted by The Rev. Richard Avison in 1882. The Rev. G.K. Adams arrived in 1886 to become Griswold's first regular minister. Services were held in the town hall, which was also known as Lansdowne Hall. In 1889 a brick church building was built on Dawson Street. Until 1889, the circuit included Griswold, Anworth, Kemnay, Shiloh, Ancrum, Alexander, Bradwardine, Ryerson, Millan and Oak Lake, but it was reduced that same year to include only Griswold, Alexander and Milan. The preaching points remained unchanged until November 15, 1919, when Griswold Methodist Church formed a Local Union with Griswold Presbyterian Church to become Griswold Union Church. The Presbyterian church continued to be used as the Union church. Griswold Methodist Church was eventually sold to the Mennonite congregation in Griswold.
