The Battle River Hospital was located in Manning, Alberta. When the Peace River Country of northern Alberta was opened for settlement, the Woman's Missionary Society (WMS) of the Presbyterian Church in Canada established a small hospital on the Battle River mid-way between the villages of Notikewin and North Star. It was located 65 miles from the railway in an area inhabited by about 5,000 people most of whom had moved north from dried-out sections of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The hospital was opened in September, 1937 by the WMS of The United Church of Canada with accommodation for 8 patients, and with a nurse’s residence on the second floor. When it opened Dr. Doidge was the doctor, Miss, M.E. McMurray the matron, and Miss Frances M. Clarkson the staff nurse. Changes in staff were frequent, because of the loneliness of the situation of the hospital. Before long additions were made, the hospital was enlarged to accommodate 17 patients; a new nurses residence was opened in 1946 and a doctor’s residence in 1948. At first the address of the hospital was Grmishaw, the railway station 65 miles away, but as the railway was extended north and roads opened a town grew up in the hospital area. This town was named Manning after the premier of Alberta. With the growth of the town the area could no longer be considered a pioneer community. The municipality became interested in operating its own hospital, so after considerable negotiation the WMS sold the Battle River hospital to the town in 1954.

Bella Bella Day School was located in Bella Bella, on Campbell Island, British Columbia. It was operated by the Wesleyan Methodist Church, then, after 1925 The United Church of Canada. In 1883 the Wesleyan Methodists sent an application for school aid to the Department of Indian Affairs for "BellaBella" and in 1885 grants were authorized for Bella Bella Day School. In 1891, records note that the day school still received a grant paid through the Methodist Society in Toronto. Around 1904 a new school building was constructed, and there are reports of staffing, funding and renovations up until 1963. Government records indicate the school closed in 1976. Further research is required to find more information about the operation and general history of the school.

Bella Coola Day School was located in Bella Coola, British Columbia. It was operated by The Methodist Church of Canada, and after 1925, The United Church of Canada . Department of Indian Affairs records show that as of 1902, Bella Coola had a church and a day school under The Methodist Church of Canada. In 1911, a new schoolhouse was built on the north side of the river where most of band resided. Although there is little information on the school after this period, it appears to have been regularly open for the next 30 years. United Church records indicate a second classroom was added in the 1940s. By September, 1962 there was a new two-storey school building at Bella Coola though it is unclear whether this was related to the day school as Government records suggest the school closed in 1957. Further research is needed to confirm when the school closed, and its general history.

Berens River Day School was located in Berens River, Manitoba. It was operated by the Methodist Church of Canada, and after 1925 by The United Church of Canada. In 1874, the Department of Indian Affairs approved an annual grant for a Wesleyan Methodist school at Berens River. By 1878 records indicate there were around 10 children under the teacher, John Semmens although there was no schoolhouse. Methodist Church of Canada correspondence from 1882 suggests that a schoolhouse was eventually built but parents were unhappy as it was not in a central location. In 1885, a government Indian Agent criticized the Methodist-run school as a complete failure. Another more substantial school was built in 1888, still managed by the Methodist Society, and later, it appears a Government-run school was also built. There are unfavourable reports of the school in church records in 1897, and 1906. Reports continue throughout the 1920s and 30s. By at least 1938 there was a new United Church Day School building on the reserve. Little is known about the Day School during the 1940s, but reports written in 1954 and 1958 indicate there were 2 day schools at Berens River one staffed by United Church and and another by the Roman Catholics. The United Church-run school was referred to as Berens River No. 002. The Day School(s) closed in 1967. Further research is required to learn more information about the operation and general history of the school.

The Rosedale War Memorial Hospital was located in Matheson, Ontario. The small hospital first opened in 1922, financed partly by funds from the Forward Movement of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Woman's Missionary Society of The Presbyterian Church in Canada, and a service club called the Rosedale Hospital Circle in the Rosedale area of Toronto. Accommodation soon became inadequate to meet this need for hospital services in the area. In 1934 a bequest of $25,000 was left to the Woman's Missionary Society of The United Church of Canada by Mrs. George A. Bingham, whose husband had been an outstanding surgeon in Ontario. The gift was designated for a new hospital at Matheson, to be named "The Dr. George A. Bingham Memorial Hospital." In 1954 the new hospital was opened to be operated jointly by the Woman Missionary Society and local committee. In 1958 the community took over the complete operation of the hospital under the new Ontario Hospital Services plan. The WMS equity in the building was made a gift to the community. The WMS relationship with the hospital terminated December 31, 1958. The hospital is still operational.

The Brechin community was made up largely of coal miners' families. The first Methodist church services were held in homes, beginning in 1905. By 1910, Brechin was part of the Wellington Circuit, which included five preaching points: Wellington, East Wellington, Brechin, South Wellington and Cedar. A community hall, known as Brechin Hall, was moved onto a lot donated by the CPR on Estevan Road; it was used as a day school and Sunday school. When the mines closed in 1913, the Hall was given to the Methodist Church. This structure served as the church building until 1958. After church union in 1925, Brechin United Church became part of the Wellington Pastoral Charge.

In 1931, the Nanaimo Suburban Pastoral Charge was formed, comprised of a varying number of preaching points over the years. In 1958, a new building was constructed at the corner of Brechin and Estevan Roads; the building was dedicated on October 11, 1958 and the old Brechin Hall was demolished shortly afterward.

Burns Lake Hospital was located at Burns Lake, British Columbia. A small hospital was opened in a farm house at nearby Francois Lake in 1919 and in 1920 some larger quarters became available at Prosser's Point (now known as Hospital Point). The staff relocated to Burns Lake in 1924. In 1931 construction began on a new 19 bed hospital. The Woman's Missionary Society of The United Church of Canada, the provincial government and the Department of Indian Affairs all made substantial grants and it officially opened in 1932. Then, a new larger and better equipped building was opened in July, 1952. Another building was opened in August, 1960 by the WMS and Ministry of Health Services in the province.

Camp Fircom was founded in 1923 by First Presbyterian Church at the time when the Rev. J. Richmond Craig was Superintendent. The 50 acres of land was acquired shortly after. The original campers were primarily mothers and children living in the inner city. In 1925, First Presbyterian voted to amalgamate with other participating churches throughout Canada, and First United Church was formed. From then on, Camp Fircom was administered by First United Church.

The camp would undergo several renovations, changes, and additions throughout its lifetime, including the purchase of additional 22 acres of land in 1960. In 1979, Camp Fircom was incorporated as a society, and therefore was no longer a programming branch of First United Church. The Camp Fircom Society remains affiliated with the United Church.

In 2005, the camp closed for significant renovations and re-opened in 2011.

Camp Koolaree was established in 1931 after the land was purchased by Rev. Beverly Oaten along with Dr. Coughlin, Dr. Daly, and Dr. Auld. Camps were interdenominational until the 1970s when it began being operated exclusively by the United Church.

In 1905, W. Pascoe Goard, a retired Methodist minister and real estate professional, bought 136 acres of land overlooking Semiahmoo Bay, parceled it into lots, and sold it. One of the portions of land was turned into a park by the name of ‘Ocean Park’ and administered by the Methodist Church. The first camp at this location was hosted in the summer of 1910.

The first permanent building was erected in 1912 and served as a venue for lectures, church services, entertainment, and as a community hall for the burgeoning community until the Ocean Park Community Hall was built in the 1920s.

In 1925, in the wake of the church union, the United Church of Canada (B.C. Conference) gained responsibility of the property. The infrastructure of the camp continued to develop over the decades as cabins and dining facilities were built. In 1963, a swimming pool was added to the property.

Camp Kwomais ran as one of the oldest camps registered with B.C. Camping until its closure in 2004. The camp was eventually sold to the city of Surrey in 2007 due to a need for funds, an awareness of the site’s conservation needs, and a desire to keep the park accessible to the public.

The first United Church Chaplain, Rev. M.J.V. Shaver, was appointed to the University of British Columbia after its creation by BC Conference in 1959. An interdenominational committee, the Anglican-United Joint Chaplaincy Committee, was formed in 1969, through the BC Conference Committee on Church and State in Education, to begin the process of creating a joint chaplaincy at UBC. In 1970 the Anglican United Campus Ministry (AUCM) was created. In 1974, the AUCM and the UBC Student Christian Movement (SCM) merged to form the Cooperative Christian Campus Ministry (CCCM) at the University of British Columbia. In 1979, the SCM left the CCCM and the United Church and Anglican Church continued to operate campus ministry at UBC through the CCCM. In 1986, the CCCM was dissolved and the partnership between the United Church and Anglican Church at UBC ended. Later that year, after a brief period without a United Church campus chaplain, the United Church Campus Ministry (UCCM) at UBC was formed. In 2021, Campus Ministry at UBC became a part of Pacific Mountain Regional Council through the formation of Campus United.

Canadian Ecumenical Action began in 1973 as People's Opportunities in Ecumenical Mission (or POEM), for the development and support of new expressions of mission, and support of the expression of faith in work and in daily life by lay people of all churches and faiths. Rev. Val Anderson served as the founding coordinator of the new organization, which was originally organized into the Planning Board and standing committees (most prominently the Executive, the Finance Committee, and the Nominations Committee), the office, and numerous smaller committees or activity groups responsible for specific programs or projects. From the beginning, POEM served as a seedbed for other ventures, providing phone and office services, information, advertising and support through its newsletter and network of volunteers, and in some cases providing space or funding support. Many endeavours began as ventures within POEM, and eventually came to be independent.

In December 1976, POEM's name was officially changed to Canadian Ecumenical Action (CEA); however, the mission, and the organization of the work, remained substantially unchanged. Programs introduced between 1976 and 1979 included Alternatives in Justice and Corrections, the local chapter of the Canada-China Program, the Single Parent Network (also known as the Single Family Network and the Single Parent Action Network or SPAN), Poverty Focus, and the SFU Campus Ministry, among others.

By 1981, CEA's activities were clearly organized into the four divisions. Communication, Education, Community Action, and Administration, each of which had its own managing committee and reported separately to the Board.

CEA was also involved in organizing the 1983 World Council of Churches in Vancouver. CEA's orientation during this time was changing more and more towards sharing and cooperation among peoples of all faiths, rather than just Christian faiths, and in 1985 constitutional changes were made to reflect CEA's emerging identity as "a multifaith community action organization." By the early 2000s, the organization became the Multifaith Action Society, dedicated to the facilitation of interfaith education and dialogue.

Canadian Memorial Chapel was the result of an amalgamation of Sixth Avenue Methodist Church and Fourteenth Avenue Methodist Church. It became known as Canadian Memorial United Church after Church Union in 1925.

Canadian Urban Training began as a resource where clergy could prepare themselves for inner city social justice work in Toronto in 1965. CUT was an ecumenical program (funded by the United, Presbyterian, and Anglican Churches) that grew to include others that wanted to work towards social change. As more women and minority groups joined CUT, the program and network evolved to meet the needs of the people it served. The Action Training Collective (a part of CUT) was located at 200 - 1955 West Fourth Avenue, in Vancouver; along with the BC Conference offices. The program was dissolved in 1988 after it was decided that its forms and structures were no longer serving its objectives.

The Cheam Methodist Church was founded in 1890. This congregation was the centre for the Cheam Circuit (est. 1888) which embraced congregations at East Chilliwack, Rosedale and Camp Slough in the Chilliwack area. In 1917 the Methodist circuit merged in a local union with the Presbyterians which were centred in Rosedale Presbyterian Church, becoming the Rosedale Union Church Circuit. As a result Cheam Methodist became Cheam Union Church. After national union in 1925, it became Cheam United Church and the circuit became Rosedale Pastoral Charge. The congregation continued as a part of this charge, with Rosedale and East Chilliwack United, until Cheam United closed in ca. 1958.

Chemong Day School was located on what is now Curve Lake First Nation, along Mud Lake in Ontario. It was operated by the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada. Wesleyan Methodist records indicate that the school was operational in 1906, and in 1909 the Department of Indian Affairs gave permission to the Methodist Missionary Society to provide a qualified teacher. Records indicate the school was open as late as 1920, however, further research is required to confirm details about its operation, and opening and closure dates and general history.
