Even without a church building, the congregation began holding services in homes in the spring of 1848. The next year The Rev. Dr. Burns came from Toronto to preside over communion and to conduct services.
In 1856, the church congregation purchased land on which to build a church and establish the adjoining cemetery. Members of the congregation purchased burial plots at a cost of $10.00 each in order to raise funds. The name Burns Presbyterian Church was chosen in honour of Rev. Dr. Burns.
The original church, completed about 1857, was entirely destroyed by fire in 1967 and a new church building was erected in 1968.
The cemetery is maintained and managed by Burns Presbyterian Church.
