Part of the three-point mission in Alberta in 1906, Holborn was found to be a productive settlement and a task was laid on select people to locate a cemetery and build a church. The former was never located, and it would be upwards of forty years before a church would be purchased from the Good Shepherd Church in Stony Plain, in 1955. It wasn't long before the Holborn Women's Association was formed, an active group of women that worked with the Holborn community until 1971. A dwindling congregation forced Holborn to merge with Stony Plain United Church, and the final service of Holborn United was held on June 4th, 1967.
