This church, in the Rural Municipality of Franklin, was built in 1988, replacing several smaller churches in the vicinity, including Green Ridge United Church (1884-1988), New Bridge United Church (1899-1965), Ridgeville United Church (1881-1969), and Woodmore United Church (1880-1958). Next to the building is a bell donated by the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Dominion City. The bell was originally from Gretna Lutheran Church and is over 100 years old.
