High Bluff /Zion Methodist Church was a Wesleyan Methodist church first organized by Rev. George Young, with the first services held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Angus Smith in 1868. Rev. Young asked this new congregation to cut and deliver wood needed to build Grace Church in Winnipeg. A small church in High Bluff was built in approximately 1869. The High Bluff Mission Circuit included High Bluff, Poplar Point, and Gowler's. Portage la Prairie was added in 1874. Poplar Point was removed and Rat Creek added in 1875, followed by the addition of Portage Creek and North High Bluff in 1877-78. The field divided in 1878 and High Bluff, Poplar Point, Gowler's and North High Bluff became one circuit. That same year, a parsonage was built near the church on the Moss farm on Thomas Wark's property next to the cemetery. The congregation built another church in the new village of High Bluff in 1884. Flee Island was added to the charge in 1886, and in 1889 Poplar Point was removed, and Portage Creek added. A lot purchased from Mr. M. Owens enabled the parsonage to move into the village as well in 1890. A Local Union was formed before officially joining the United Church of Canada in 1925 to become High Bluff United Church. Following the formation of High Bluff United Church, the former Methodist church was sold in 1935. The parsonage was sold to a Louisa Greenlay and converted to a private residence.
