This brick building at Oak Lake, in the Rural Municipality of Sifton, was built in 1900 and dedicated at a Presbyterian service on 18 November 1900 presided over by Reverend George Bryce. In 1920, the congregation merged with that of the Oak Lake Methodist Church (established 1887) to form a Union church that, in 1925, became Oak Lake United Church.
