Administrative history
Bothwell United Church, located at 178 Elm Street in Bothwell, was established in 1925, formerly Methodist and Presbyterian. The Methodist church esas etsablished in 1874 with services being held in a boarding house in the community. Later that year, a church building was erected. The Elm Street Methodist Church joined the United Church in 1925. It formed part of Bothwell Pastoral Charge, later known as Bothwell-Wabash Pastoral Charge, with Armstrong (until ca. 1966) and then Wabash beginning ca. 1969.
Zion Presbyterian Church in Bothwell was established as early as 1863 as a mission station along with Florence. By 1876, it was shown as a congregation of the Presbyterian Church. It joined the United Church of Canada in 1925 and was first known as Zion United Church and formed a two-point charge with Cairo. It then amalgamated with Elm Street United Church ca. 1926-1927 to form Bothwell United Church.
