Up to 1844 the religious needs of the growing population of Orwell was being served by small groups that met in homes with guidance being supplied by occasional circuit rider preachers.  These traveling preachers were mainly Methodist, Congregationalist and Presbyterian.  With the growing population the need for a central Church building was evident. 
    A group of citizens banded together as the Orwell Meeting House Society and built the Church we share today.  Upon its dedication in 1845, incorporation papers were filed establishing the Orwell Union Church.  This entity has continuously served the religious needs of the Orwell community ever since.
   Today we continue that original charge, that of being a true Union Church.  Our congregation is made up of people who come from a variety of denominational backgrounds but, share thee one true belief, that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour.  We come together to worship, learn, and support our communities.
