Chinese United Church (Vancouver, B.C.)

• 约定名称 : 华人协和教会 （温哥华，不列颠哥伦比亚省）

(中文版在下面) (Chinese version below) The Chinese United Church in Vancouver had its roots in the Methodist Church, which joined The United Church of Canada in 1925. Shortly afterward, and to better serve the needs of the Chinese community (which had begun to shift eastward), the congregation relocated from Beatty Street to the corner of Pender Street and Dunlevy Avenue. The new church building and Christian Education Centre were dedicated on December 3, 1929. For nearly 70 years, the mission relied on the Board of Home Missions and the Woman's Missionary Society for financial support and leadership, and was known as the Chinese Mission, United Church of Canada. As it worked toward full self-support, which it achieved in 1955, it became known as the Chinese United Church. The congregation officially amalgamated with Chown United Church on April 14, 1992, becoming Chown Memorial and Chinese United Church, located at 3519 Cambie Street.

温哥华华人协和教会起源于卫理公会。 此会于 1925 年加入加拿大协和教会。不久之后，为了更好地服务华人社区（已经开始向东转移）的需要，教会会址从Beatty Street 搬到了 Pender Street 和 Dunlevy Avenue 的拐角处。 1929 年 12 月 3 日，新教堂和基督教教育中心落成典礼。 约70年间，该传道部的运行仰仗家庭宣教委员会和妇女布道会的财政支持和引领，并被称为加拿大协和教会华人宣教会。该教会努力实现完全自给自足，并于1955年成功实现这一目标，自此被称为华人协和教会。1992年4月14日，华人协和教会与Chown United Church正式合并，成为周氏纪念堂和华人协和教会 [Chown Memorial and Chinese United Church]，其地址位于3519 Cambie Street。
