“The first Methodist church services in the area had been held in 1865 in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Kipp. Following this a Methodist church was built just west of the Atchelitz Creek. Continued growth in the Sumas area necessitated the construction of this larger building, on land donated by pioneer resident George Chadsey. The dedication was held in October 1886 with a sermon by the Reverend E. Robson. Final services were held in 1971, with the congregation joining Carmen United \church in Sardis. This landmark late Victoria era church remains in mostly original condition, and is located at the corner of Adams and Yale roads.”
