History
Meadow Lea Presbyterian Church existed in the Manitoba community of Meadow Lea, northwest of Winnipeg in the Rural Municipality of Woodlands, from the time it first appeared as a congregation in 1886 until 1925. It was part of the Poplar Point charge. In 1891, a piece of land on the southeast corner of the SE 1/4 30 - 13 - 2W was bought from the North British Canadian Company for a church site. The church was dedicated on July 14, 1891. A missionary by the name of Rev. Acheson was the first minister of the new church. The local Anglican congregation used this church on alternating Sundays from 1893 to 1900. In 1925, Meadow Lea Presbyterian Church and Meadow Lea Methodist Church joined the United Church of Canada to become Meadow Lea United Church. The former Presbyterian church continued to be used for worship.
