La région de Stanstead est l'un des berceaux de l'adventisme dans les Cantons-de-l'Est. Dès 1835, William Miller, le fondateur, y prêche sa doctrine, qui repose sur l'attente du second avènement du Christ.
Construite en 1866 par un administrateur de l'église, Jeremiah Spear, cette église de style colonial est connue à l'époque sous le nom d'Union Meeting House et dessert les traditions méthodiste, anglicane, universaliste et baptiste. A compter de 1893, elle est utilisée exclusivement par les Chrétiens adventistes. L'église dessert depuis ses débuts une assemblée internationale composée de fidèles américains et canadiens.
