Iona Christian Fellowship History
Iona Wesleyan Methodist Church
Location: 9075 Iona Road; [Southwold-Dunwich townline] Date of Formation: 1874 Date of Closing: 1966 (continued as Iona Christian Fellowship Church)
Circuit: Fingal (1874 – 1880?), Iona Charge (Miller’s, Muskoka) (1880-1888), Miller’s (Lawrence Station), Southwold Station (1888- ?), Miller’s, Southwold Station, Shedden, Frome ( ? – 1919), Fingal (1919 – ?);
History:
In June 1874, the Iona Methodist church had its beginning with liberal assistance from Mrs. Sarah Casey and Mr. Amasa Wood. Mrs. Casey had inherited a large block of land from her father, Mr. Elliott (for whom the Dunwich side of the village was named), and she donated two lots, 6 & 7, on which the church that still stands today, was built. The congregation was originally Wesleyan Methodist. The frame church was completed in 1874 and had a capacity for 250 people.
Because of the declining rural population and the accompanying decline of church attendance, in 1965, the United Church of Canada began closing churches in less populated areas. In the fall of 1965, after considerable controversy, the congregations at Iona and McBride’s decided to keep their ministries going and withdrew from the United Church of Canada. The church was temporarily closed, but later was purchased by the congregation, which had chosen to affiliate with the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Canada. Along with its sister church, McBride’s, Iona continues as an Alliance Church. The centennial of the church was celebrated in 1974, and is now known as “Iona Christian Fellowship”.
