Administrative history
Informal interdenominational church services began in Peachland in 1898, meeting in a private home until a school was built. Around 1902, the Baptist members began their own services in the Orange Hall, until they built their own church building. The Methodists and Presbyterians built a Presbyterian church shortly after this, and worshipped together until a group of new Methodist people came in 1906 and, wanting their own services, worshipped in the Orange Hall with the minister from the Methodist Church in Summerland. In 1908, the first resident Methodist minister was settled in Peachland. A Methodist Church was built and opened in Peachland in November, 1911. The Presbyterians, being a small congregation, joined with the Methodists again, with the understanding that the clergy would be alternatively from both traditions. The Presbyterian church building was used as the Sunday School. In 1925, the congregation became a part of The United Church of Canada. From the founding of the Peachland church, the ministers served both Peachland and Westbank, and they remained related as the Peachland-Westbank Pastoral Charge of the United Church until 1980, when the two became separate Pastoral Charges.
