The Russeltown Protestant Church, located at Russeltown Flats, municipality of St-Chrysostome in the southwest corner of Quebec, Canada, dates back to 1826 and was first used as a Methodist/Congregationalist meeting place. In 1853, it became a Presbyterian Church property and remained so until Church Union in 1925 whereupon it joined the newly formed United Church of Canada. It is now part of the Hemmingford United Church congregation. The church is normally used for one regular service a year – a celebration in the summer and occasional special events. The Russeltown Protestant Church is considered the oldest original church structure in the Chateauguay Valley. In 2001, a provincial heritage grant permitted extensive renovations to be carried out to preserve the structure for the future.
