    Biographical history

    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 has continued as a United Church congregation in Ladner Pastoral Charge since union in 1925. Ladner is currently a part of Vancouver-South Presbytery.
