History

Originally the site of a meetinghouse dating back to 1849, the church was built on land donated by Mr. Arthur Hopper. The present church was built in 1876, with later additions of the tower and narthex (vestibule). The hall was built in 1967. Once at the heart of a rural community, now in the heart of the city, Merivale has always adapted to its changing environment and continues to be a vibrant church and the home of two very active congregations. The church has been recognized as a historic site for the former City of Nepean, and is listed on the Ontario Register of Historic Places.

The church was lovely and quaint, and just what we were needing for our smaller wedding. The church contacts were prompt, professional, and more than willing to accomodate. Very reasonably priced. The day of the rehearsal and wedding, they were helpful with suggestions of what had worked in the past and willing to fit in what we wanted. Could honestly not have asked for a better location!!!
