Aldergrove United Church began as Aldergrove Presbyterian Church in Langley District Municipality. Services began as early as 1885 with regular services commencing in 1889, although a church was not built until 1911. The earliest Session records (1914) indicate that the Aldergrove charge consisted of three other points: Aberdeen, Pine Grove and Patricia. After union in 1925, Aldergrove remained a separate charge until becoming part of the Murrayville charge in 1932. In 1961 Aldergrove and Murrayville became separate charges. Since 1963 Aldergrove has, with Mount Lehman, constituted the Aldergrove-Mount Lehman Pastoral Charge in Fraser Presbytery.

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.

Brechin United Church became a separate independent charge in Comox-Nanaimo Presbytery in 1961, where it remained until the end of presbyteries in 2019. The church building was demolished in early 2019 and a new church and housing complex was built, owned and managed by the Pacific Mountain's housing society.

Brighouse United Church in Richmond was officially constituted as a congregation in January of 1926. The congregation met initially in the Richmond Municipal Hall for services. The first church building was opened in June 1927. Within a decade, it was evident that a larger building was needed. A new building was opened in September 1940 at 816 Granville Avenue; it was extended and remodeled in 1956. To accommodate growth, a church hall was added during 1951-1952. Although originally part of the Richmond pastoral charge (along with Richmond United Church), Brighouse became a separate charge in 1958. In 1974, the church building was moved to 8151 Bennett Road. Brighouse United was part of Vancouver South Presbytery until the Presbytery was disbanded in 2019. The congregation disbanded in June 2023.

Omega Chilufya Bula (d. 2023) was a long-time staff member of the General Council Office of The United Church of Canada. She served in the Division of World Outreach as Area Secretary for Southern Africa and Gender Justice, as the first-ever Racial Justice Minister, and as Executive Minister of the former Justice, Global and Ecumenical Relations (JGER) and Partners in Mission Units (PIM). Her commitment to partnership led to the formation of the Partner Council, and was instrumental in shaping the Principles of Global Partnership that guide the global partnership program of The United Church of Canada today. She was also a integral member of the Roundtable for Specialized Ministries. Bula was also involved with other ecumenical programs. She was involved with the World Council of Churches Ecumenical School on Governance, Economics and Management for an Economy of Life, and the Ecumenical Panel on a New International Financial and Economic Architecture. She worked with the All Africa Council of Churches as program executive of the Women's Desk and educated women across the continent on the adverse negative impact of structural adjustment programs imposed by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in the 1980s and 1990s. She developed videos on women, economic justice, and empowerment to mitigate against injustices experienced by African women. She also gathered women to listen and learn together how to practice life-affirming strategies and tactics. Upon retirement, she established a sustainable farm and guesthouse, providing educational and entrepreneurial support for members of her community, and worked with members of her church in Zambia and Canada to host a two-week children's camp in August, dubbed "Camp Chipembi." Omega passed away in 2023.

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.

Previously known as Princess Street Methodist Church (1888-1908), Central Methodist subsequently became known as the Turner Institute (1916-1925).

Central Okanagan United Church was formed July 1, 2021 through the amalgamation of three congregations: First United in downtown Kelowna, St. Paul's, and Rutland.

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.

Chilliwack United Church began as Chilliwack Methodist Church. The first services were held in a private home in 1865 and in 1869 the first building was erected. In the following year Sumas and Chilliwack Circuit was established; as the Methodist work grew in the area, new circuits were set apart from Sumas and Chilliwack: Cheam in 1888 and Sumas in 1892. Carman Methodist Church, founded in 1898 in Sardis, was a part of Chilliwack Circuit until it, too, became independent in 1910. Chilliwack Methodist entered into the United Church in 1925, drawing some members from the local Presbyterian church which remained outside the new union. Since 1925 it has continued mainly as a single point pastoral charge, in Westminster Presbytery until 1959, and since 1959 in Fraser Presbytery. Mount Shannon United Church, also in Chilliwack, was briefly joined with Chilliwack United in a team ministry from 1969 to 1972. In 2020 Chilliwack United amalgamated with Rosedale and Mount Shannon to form Cheam View United Church.

(繁體和簡體中文版本如下)(中文版在下面) In 1888, a Mrs. M. Monck, daughter of pioneer missionary Rev. Ebeneezer Robson, began teaching English classes to Chinese students in her father's home. In November of that year, Mr. Chan Sing Kai, who had worked in the Wesleyan Methodist School in Hong Kong for the previous eight years, arrived in Vancouver to set up a mission. After three years, he was ordained by the Methodist Church in Canada. The mission initially met in small quarters near Hastings and Abbott, then relocated to quarters on the south-east corner of Hastings and Columbia Streets. As the mission outgrew its space, it moved to 186 Pender Street West, in the heart of Chinatown. A new building was completed at 531 Beatty Street in 1906; it contained a chapel that would accommodate 300, rooms for Sunday school, and a night school. At church union in 1925, the mission joined The United Church of Canada.

Crescent United Church began its life as a "Union" church. While the property was held by the Presbyterian Church when it was organized in 1920, it was a community effort with people from several denominations active in the development of the congregation. In June 1922, the new church was dedicated. With church union in 1925, Crescent Union Church became Crescent United Church and also became part of White Rock Pastoral Charge. This continued until 1952 when it became an independent Crescent Pastoral Charge. On July 1, 2017, Crescent United amalgamated with First United Church (White Rock, B.C.) and Sunnyside United Church (Surrey, B.C.) to form Peninsula United Church.

Presbyterian ministries west of the Red River were established by Irish missionaries in the Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia starting in 1861. The First Presbyterian Church of Vancouver Island, established in Victoria in 1862 with a Scottish tradition, was the founding congregation of First United Church. A church building was completed in 1863 on the north-west corner of Blanshard Street and Pandora Avenue and Sunday School classes commenced the next year. In 1866, a division within the congregation caused a large portion to break away and found St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, which remains in downtown Victoria as of 2025.

First Presbyterian Church saw a period of inactivity, but resumed operations in 1876. An energetic fund-raising campaign led to the opening of a new church building in 1915 at the corner of Quadra Street and Balmoral Road in Victoria. Ten years later, in 1925, a significant union between the Methodist Church, Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada, and 70 percent of the Presbyterian Church in Canada entered into a union that saw the birth of the United Church of Canada. First Presbyterian Church, Victoria, was renamed First United Church. Metropolitan Methodist Church, just two blocks south on Quadra, became Metropolitan United.

The two United Church congregations on Quadra operated extensive programs, both independently and collaboratively, in close proximity for over 70 years. In January of 1997, First United and Metropolitan United amalgamated to form a new church, First Metropolitan United Church. The 1914 Presbyterian building went on to serve as the spiritual and physical home of the new thriving United Church community.

First United Church was established in 1916 when the congregations of Knox Presbyterian Church and Kelowna Methodist Church voted to merge in a local union. A complete union, in terms of organization, occurred in 1924. The union congregation entered the wider church union as First United Church in 1925. In 1947 a new congregation was started in Kelowna by First United Church. It was named Mission Road United Church. After a church was built in 1958, it was renamed St. Paul's United Church and became a separate pastoral charge in 1961. First was part of Kamloops-Okanagan Presbytery until 2019, when presbyteries were discontinued. First United amalgamated with Rutland and St. Paul's on July 1, 2021 to form Central Okanagan United Church.

First United Church has its roots in First Presbyterian Church (organized in 1885) and Princess Street Methodist Church (begun in 1888). The two congregations were involved in mission work very early on, and performed joint outreach projects since the early 1900s. By the time of the First World War, the national mission boards of both churches put the two congregations under their control in order that the mission work could continue. Princess Street Methodist Church, which had become Central Methodist Church in 1908, became the Turner Institute in 1916.

First United Church in Vancouver was established in 1925 through the amalgamation of First Presbyterian Church and the Turner Institute. The amalgamated congregation chose to meet in the Presbyterian Church building, which had been erected in 1892 at the corner of Gore and Hastings Streets. The minister, referred to as Superintendent, served as pastor to the congregation and had oversight of mission operations.

After church union, the old Turner Institute building was used for First United's Welfare department, later known as Welfare Industries. The Rev. J. Richmond Craig, who had served as Superintendent of First Presbyterian Church from 1921, helped establish Welfare Industries, as well as Camp Fircom, and the congregation's radio ministry. Welfare Industries was organized to provide employment, training, rehabilitation and opportunity for those unable to find employment in normal industries. Camp Fircom was established on Gambier Island as a fresh air camp for mothers and children. The Rev. Andrew Roddan is another significant Superintendent (1930-1948), who saw the mission through the Depression and war years. The original Presbyterian Church building was torn down in 1964 and the present building opened in 1965 at the same spot.

Welfare service work and advocacy programs have been the central components of the mission. Over the years, First United Church has mainly addressed the needs of the homeless, the unemployed, and ethnic groups (including the Finnish and Japanese congregations). In 2007, the congregation was disbanded, but the mission remains active.

In 1925, First Presbyterian Church, Victoria, entered into the union of Methodist, Congregational, and Presbyterian churches and was renamed First United Church. Metropolitan Methodist Church, just two blocks south on Quadra, became Metropolitan United.

The two United Church congregations on Quadra operated extensive programs, both independently and collaboratively, in close proximity for over 70 years. In January of 1997, First United and Metropolitan United amalgamated to form a new church, First Metropolitan United Church. The 1914 Presbyterian building went on to serve as the spiritual and physical home of the new thriving United Church community.

First United Church, White Rock, B.C. was founded in 1925 at the time of church union. The predecessor congregation was White Rock Methodist Church. The first Methodist worship services began in 1910, and were held in homes and a school until a church was built in 1912. In April 1922, a new church building was dedicated. White Rock Methodist Circuit consisted of White Rock, as well as the Hazelmere Methodist Church (Surrey B.C.) After Church Union, White Rock Pastoral Charge consisted of First United Church (White Rock), Hazelmere United, Sullivan United (1925-1934), and Crescent United, Surrey (1925-1952). In February 1958, a new church building was dedicated. By 1969, White Rock Pastoral Charge included Sunnyside United Church (Surrey, B.C.) In 1989, the First United congregation became a one-point pastoral charge and remained so until July 1, 2017 when it amalgamated with Crescent United and Sunnyside United Church to form Peninsula United Church.

The Fraser Valley Japanese Mission was formed in the early 1930s. It was an extension of the New Westminster Japanese mission, which had begun in 1898. In 1934, the Fraser Valley Japanese Mission became a separate mission and continued as such until 1942 when the Canadian government forcefully uprooted and interned Japanese Canadians. In the late 1950s, Fraser Valley Japanese United Church was re-established, and continued until it formally amalgamated with Northwood United Church (Surrey, B.C.) in 2013.

Ladner United Church (Delta, B.C.) was formed in 1925 out of the union of Ladner Methodist Church (Delta, B.C.) and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (Delta, B.C.). Methodist activity in Delta extends back to at least 1883 when Ladner's Landing was attached to the Langley Mission. In 1884, Delta Mission was separated from Langley which, besides Ladner, included points at Mud Bay, Boundary Bay, McKee's, Westham Island and Crescent Island. By 1896, the mission or circuit was called Ladner. A Methodist church was built in Ladner in ca. 1887-1890. Presbyterian activity reaches back to at least 1888 when the Presbytery of Westminster formed the new Delta Mission Field which included various points: Ladner's Landing, Mud Bay, McKee's and Westham Island. The two main congregations were St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Ladner (built ca. 1893) and St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church in East Delta (ca. 1891). St. Stephen's continued as a United Church congregation in Ladner Pastoral Charge from the time of union in 1925 until it disbanded in 2019. Ladner was a part of Vancouver South Presbytery until presbyteries ended, January 1, 2019.

Presbyterian services in the Langley area began in 1874 in the home of a local resident. In the late 1880s, a Presbyterian group decided to build a church at Five Corners, in Murrayville. Thus, Sharon Presbyterian Church was opened in 1890. In the early 1920's, Langley Methodists attended Milner Methodist Church. Following Union in 1925, a United Church congregation formed in Langley in 1927, and services were initially held in a building known as the "Free to All Sunday School Building," on Glover Road. Early in 1930, the congregation decided to build a church of its own. A lot was purchased for $200 and in due course a church facility was built largely with volunteer labour. It was initially named Langley Prairie United Church, but was renamed Langley United Church. Langley United Church was a part of the Murrayville Pastoral Charge (Sharon United Church) from 1930-1950. In 1950, Langley Prairie United became a separate Pastoral Charge. The new Langley Prairie Pastoral Charge also included West Langley United Church from 1953-1962 and Clayton United Church from 1963-1964. By the early 1970s, it was clear the church needed to expand. Early in 1974 the present site at 5673 - 200th Street was purchased. A new building was dedicated on March 14, 1976. Further expansion of the facilities occurred in October 1991 with expanded Sunday School space, lounge area and office space. In 2012 Langley United Church amalgamated with Jubilee United, St. Andrew's United, and Sharon United to form the United Churches of Langley, part of Fraser Presbytery until presbyteries dissolved in 2019.

The British Columbia Conference was established in 1887 and remained in place until the union of the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches in Canada to form the United Church of Canada in 1925. Prior to 1887, the work of the Methodist Church in B.C. was carried out under the auspices of the Toronto Conference. The Conference was an annual meeting with an equal number of lay and ministerial representatives from each District. Its functions were to elect representatives to the General Conference, to approve any sales of Church property within its jurisdiction, and to appoint and supervise the work of various Church committees and officers within its boundaries. In between sessions of the Annual Conference, a Special Committee of senior members reporting to the Conference was responsible for handling any business that could not be left until the next Annual Conference, with the exception of Church property, which remained the sole jurisdiction of the Conference. Each Conference was immediately preceded by a Ministerial Session whose function was to examine and approve the ordination of ministers and probationers within the bounds of the Conference.

Metropolitan United Church was created in 1925 when Metropolitan Methodist Church entered church union. The building, constructed in 1891, was located at the corner of Pandora Avenue and Quadra Street. Shortly after union, First Congregational Church joined Metropolitan United. In 1997, Metropolitan amalgamated with First United Church to form First Metropolitan United Church, making its home at the former First United on Balmoral Road at Quadra Street. The Metropolitan United Church building was sold to the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

In 1999, the recently amalgamated congregation of St. Giles-South Hill changed its name to Oakridge United Church. The congregation continued to worship in the St. Giles building at 305 West 41st Avenue. The church building was demolished in March 2018, and a new sanctuary was incorporated into a six-storey condominium building on the same site. The new sanctuary was dedicate in 2021. On January 1, 2023, Oakridge United amalgamated with Wilson Heights United, and the name Oakridge Unite Church was maintained for the new entity.
