Biographical history
United Church work began in the Upper North Thompson mission field in the mid-1920s. The mission included Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Birch Island, and Valemount. Over the years the Pastoral Charge came to be made up of three points: Blue River, Clearwater, and Barriere. The Charge began in McLure and went to Blue River (a distance of almost 200 km). In the 1980s, Blue River United Church closed and thus the charge became two-point. In the late 1990s, Clearwater United Church sold its building and the congregation began worshipping in St. James' Catholic Church since 2000. In 2008, Barriere United Church began experimenting with becoming Church of St. Paul, recognizing the coming together of the Anglicans, Uniteds and Lutherans in town. In 2010, the North Thompson Ecumenical Shared Ministry was formed.
