Located at the former site of the Kenilworth Methodist/United Church and Cemetery.
Methodists of the area first met in an old stone school, S.S. No. 10, on the 2nd concession of Arthur Township.
In 1854, trustees, William Bunston, William Cushing and James Waters purchased one-quarter acre of land south of Kenilworth, EOSR. They built a log church that became known as Ebenezer. First seats were planks.
In 1855, the congregation began building the new red brick church, set on a basement foundation, on the same site. The new seats were pine cut from the Cushing farm, and made by Thomas Rhame, and are still in use. During construction, services were held in Kenilworth Town Hall. Extra land for an enlarged cemetery was donated by the James Farrell family.
In 1874, the Methodist Connection joined with the Wesleyan Methodists.
The Methodist Church was built in 1886.
Deconsecration of this land occured in 2001.
