        History

        St. Paul's United Church, initially of Methodist denomination, was organized in Magog in 1884. In 1886, the Magog Methodist congregation decided to build its own church, located on Merry Street. When the United Church of Canada was founded in 1925, amalgamating Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches, the Magog congregation joined the Union. In 1930, the Merry Street church building was sold to the Lake Magog Masonic Lodge No. 50 A.F. & A.M., which owned the building until 1974, when it began its new life as a theatre (now Le Vieux Clocher de Magog theatre). The new St. Paul's church was erected on Pine Street in 1930. St. Paul's United Church in Magog is still active. St. Paul's United Church is under the jurisdiction of the Quebec and Sherbrooke Presbytery of the Montreal and Ottawa Conference of the United Church of Canada. The Church is governed by the Congregation and the Church courts (The Board of Trustees, the Official Board, the Session, and the Board of Stewards) in co-operation with committees and organizations within the Church, such as the Sunday School and the United Church Women.
