Administrative history
Exeter United Church was established in 1969 when Main Street United Church and James Street United Church, both in Exeter, amalgamated. It is located at 42 James Street, the former site of James Street United Church. It is still an active congregation of the United Church of Canada.
Main Street United Church in Exeter was established in 1925, formerly Methodist. The Main Street Wesleyan Methodist Church was formed in 1869, at the corner of Main and Victoria Streets. This church was destroyed by fire on March 24, 1895 and a new building was constructed.
James Street United Church in Exeter was established in 1925, formerly Methodist. The congregation was first Bible Christian and a church building was constructed in 1856. In 1862, a larger building was built at 42 James Street and the church was renamed James Street Church. In 1884, when the Bible Christians and Methodists united, the church changed its name to James Street Methodist Church.
