A brick church building at Elgin, in the Municipality of Grassland, was constructed in 1906 as Grace Methodist Church. After the 1925 unification of the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist faiths in Canada, it became the Elgin United Church. Its records are held at the United Church of Canada Archives.
