Harvey Baptist Church

Situated in the center of the Village of Harvey, the church was dedicated on Sunday, June 7th, 1896. Marshall and Mary Robison provided the church’s land. Initially named the St. James Presbyterian Church, it later became the St. James United Church of Canada in 1927, then was sold to the United Baptist Church in 1983. In 1987, alterations were made to the sanctuary, including the addition of a new front entrance, while the old entrance and steeple were removed. In 2021, the church was again sold, this time to a local business.
