The former Beausejour Presbyterian Church, renamed in 1925 as St. Paul’s United Church, was once located at the intersection of Third Street and Park Avenue in Beausejour, on a site now occupied by a bank. Constructed in 1904, the building was moved in May 1953 to a new basement at 332 Third Street North. Religious services were held here until 1990 when a new United Church opened at 730 James Street. The former church building appeared to be vacant at the time of a 2019 site visit.
