A Roll of Honour in memory of Humbercrest Methodist Church parishioners who served in the First World War was donated to the church and later transferred to a Book of Remembrance in 1961. The Honour Roll is rolled up in a sealed tube at the Humbercrest United Church Archives.

In 1914, the congregation moved to a basement church at its present United Church site on Baby Point Road at Thornhill Avenue. In 1924 a new church building was dedicated. It became Humbercrest United Church in 1925. A new addition was added to the existing building in 1950, which is now the present Sanctuary.
