This Shawano County Evangelical congregation was established in 1864, incorporated in 1874, and originally located 1¼ mile southeast of Bonduel in the Town of Hartland. In 1924, the congregation dismantled its church building and re-built it within the village of Bonduel. The Evangelical Association of North America merged with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ in 1946 to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church. This body merged with the Methodist Church in 1968 to form the United Methodist Church and the Bonduel congregation subsequently changed its name.
The Hartland congregation was part of various church circuits in its early years. Successively part of the Waupaca Mission, the New London Mission, the Shawano Mission, and the Clintonville Mission, in 1882 it joined Seymour, Cicero, Black Creek, and Green Valley in the Seymour Circuit. In 1886, it and Green Valley, Gillett, and Howe were combined into the Hartland Mission to which Richmond was added later. The Mission became a Circuit in 1902 and the name was changed to the Bonduel Circuit in 1922.
