            (日本語版は以下に記載) (Japanese version below)
            The Japanese Methodist mission in Kelowna began in 1920 after Rev. Yoshimitsu Akagawa, a minister in Vancouver, made a strong recommendation for a need to serve the approximately 500 Japanese Canadian orchard farmers. The congregation built it first church on Harvey Avenue in 1922, and it served the broader population as a "Japanese Community Centre." With church union in 1925, the congregation became a United Church (essentially a name change). The Japanese Canadian population in the Kelowna area subsequently grew, particularly during the Second World War era. In 1965, a new church building on Highway 97 North was completed. It was sold in 1989, but the congregation continued to meet at First United Church (Kelowna). Over the decades, the Okanagan Japanese Pastoral Charge has included several additional preaching points: Greenwood, Midway, Nakusp, New Denver, Slocan, Okanagan Centre, Summerland, Vernon, and Westbank (West Kelowna). It was part of Kamloops-Okanagan Presbytery until presbyteries ended in 2019.
