Pioneering Methodists in the Carman area were served by Reverend James Harrison (who arrived here in 1875) with services conducted in a small log church at Pomeroy. Within five years, the area was thriving, and in Carman it was possible to build a church. That first modest structure was succeeded by another, and finally with the present church. Built in 1906–07, it was designed by William Fingland of Winnipeg, and was constructed by George Elliott. The stained glass in the windows was created by Luxfer Prism of Toronto. The church is a fascinating interpretation of the Gothic Revival style, with its brick buttresses, pointed windows and especially its heavily ornamented tower. Like other Methodist churches across Canada, Wesley voted to join the United Church of Canada in 1925 and has served as Carman United Church since then.
