In 1895, a Presbyterian Church was built at this site in Roland in the Rural Municipality of Roland. Its first minister was Rev. G. C. Little and a dedication ceremony on 20 November 1895 was presided over by Carman cleric R. G. MacBeth. The last service was held on 25 December 1966 and the church was dissolved officially on 1 March 1979. The building was demolished in 1980 but a commemorative plaque stands at the site.
