Administrative history
St. Paul’s United Church existed in the northwest Ontario community of Beardmore, 195 km northeast of Thunder Bay, from 1941 to 1983. It first appears as a student mission 1938 as part of the Jellicoe Pastoral charge with McDiarmid. In 1939, it became its own Pastoral charge with Jellicoe, McDiarmid, and Nezah as preaching points. A church was built by Mr. Harry Steiciuch in 1941, and held its opening service on March 2 of that year. Church furnishings were donated to Beardmore from the United Church in Ignace. The Pastoral charge became known as Beardmore-Nipigon in 1945 with Cameron Falls, Jellicoe, and McDiarmid as preaching points. The church moved onto a basement on a different lot in December of 1951. The basement was used as a community hall. One year later, the Beardmore-Nipigon Pastoral charge separated into the Nipigon-Red Rock and Beardmore Pastoral charges. The charge also included Auden from 1960 to 1970. After 1970, Beardmore became the only preaching point in the Pastoral charge. The congregation approved a motion to disband on February 26, 1983. The church and manse property was sold to the Township of Beardmore for $1.00 to be used as a community church with the congregation retaining the option from 2 years of re-purchasing it, but the option was never used. The congregation of St. Paul’s United Church transferred to the United Church in Nipigon.
