In 1824, the Presbyterian congregation made preparations to erect a church. Bees were held, the timber prepared, and John Sibbald did the joining. In 1828, Rev. Andrew Bell was ordained and inducted as the first minister in charge of Streetsville and Malton. He was followed by the Rev. W. Rintoul. The first preserved records begin with his ministry. His field of preaching included Chinguacousy, Caledon Township and as far north as Erin Township. This church was known as the Presbyterian Church, Toronto Township, West Side. According to the 1856 official map of Streetsville, the Cemetery was known as the Scotch Burying Ground. The brick church, which is used today, was opened for worship on November 1, 1868.
