A Seventh Day Adventist church in the community of River Hills, in the Rural Municipality of Whitemouth, was built in November 1931. The first burial in the small cemetery behind the church took place four years later. Once active, the church was closed at the time of a 2013 site visit.
The structure was demolished in 2016.
