The first Baptist church to be built on this side of the Lake was the Newcastle Creek United Baptist Church (7 Wharf Road). It was built in 1846.  Newcastle Creek United Baptist Church became the mother church for all the Baptist churches in this area.

In 1871 approximately 50 members from the Newcastle Creek church asked for permission to leave so they could form another church at Newcastle Bridge. On May 31, 1871 the 50 members got organized and Newcastle Bridge United Baptist Church was constructed.

In 1926, a group from the Newcastle Bridge church desired to build a church in Minto.  Land was donated and the construction of the Minto United Baptist Church began.

For many years one pastor served all three churches.  But in the early 90’s Newcastle Bridge and Minto decided to merge and build a new facility.  Sod turning took place in April 1996 and construction began.  Our present church was built by the hard work of its members.  On April 20, 1997 our beautiful building was dedicated to the glory of God.  We endearingly called our family the United Baptist Church of Minto.

May the vision and commitment of those earlier members inspire us to new levels of greatness in God’s Kingdom.  We believe God, who began a good work in us, will carry it on to completion in Christ Jesus.
