The United Presbyterian Church of Tingley was opened on July 12, 1883 under Reverend J.C. White, who had previously served as pastor of the Eugene congregation. Many members came from Eugene to attend the new church and by 1890, the congregation consisted of 160 members now under Reverend J.P. Gibson. By 1896, the congregation held 251 members. In 1952, a portion of the church roof fell above a Sabbath class, but with no injuries. While the church was being re-constructed, the congregation attended the church of Shannon City. |
