This one-storey brick structure at Decker, in the Municipality of Hamiota, was built in 1934 using materials salvaged from Knox Presbyterian Church at Hamiota that had closed in June 1930 when its congregation united with that of Zion Methodist Church. An opening service was held on 14 October 1934.
