The United Brethren Church was organized in 1866 by Rev. Day.  The organization was effected in the M. E. Church, where services were held for over two years. The following seven years the storeroom of the Erie Canal was utilized.  In 1884 a one story frame building was erected at the corner of Sixth and High Streets.  This was built by William Reichard at a cost of $1500 and was dedicated June 2, 1885 with appropriate services.  The building was later sold to the Shenango Furnace Company and the beautiful brick structure  on Ridge Avenue was built in 1920 and dedicated December 4 of the same year.

The church was closed by the U. B. Erie Conference in the spring of 1939 and the church and property were sold to the Nazarene denomination at that time.
