As western Canada was settled, communities sprang up, but populations remained sparse. It was difficult to sustain a church congregation, so many churches of different denominations came together to form union churches. As the idea spread, denominations were encouraged to look at amalgamation. By 1925, Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists had agreed, and the United Church of Canada was formed by an act of parliament.

Pilgrim United Church started as a Congregation in the late 1950s and moved into our permanent church at this location in 1962. The church is in great condition today and not only has a wonderful sanctuary for worship but also a great front hall for after service gatherings. We also have a large full kitchen in our lower floor with a large hall and some smaller rooms.
Our church currently has a wonderful choir dedicated to praising God through song. See the Home Page for Worship and office open times.
