        History

        Addison United Church, located at 9007 County Rd 29 in Addison, was established in 1925, formerly Methodist. Addison Methodist Episcopal Church was formed in 1881 and was originally part of the Farmersville Circuit with Athens (Farmersville), Addison, Greenbush, Glen Buell, Towriss (a former community near Glen Buell), New Dublin, Rocksprings, and Moore's and Washburn Corners. In 1884, following the formation of the Methodist Church of Canada, Addison Methodist Circuit was created, which included Addison, Greenbush, Rocksprings, New Dublin, and Moore's Corners. The Addison Church joined the United Church in 1925 as part of a four-point charge with Greenbush, New Dublin and Rocksprings.
        In 1960, Rocksprings joined Frankville-Toledo Pastoral Charge and New Dublin joined Lyn Pastoral Charge. Addison and Greenbush became a three-point charge with Athens United Church. Greenbush would later close ca. 1968 but trustees continued to care for the church building until 1986.

        Athens-Addison Pastoral Charge disbanded and each congregation formed its own single-point charge in 2013. Addison United Church remains an active congregation of the United Church of Canada.
