    Biographical history

    Presbyterian activity in Abbotsford began in 1878, though a church was not built until 1907. The congregation was called Abbotsford Presbyterian Church. With church union in 1925, the name was changed to Trinity United Church and in 1947, it became known as Trinity Memorial United Church. As a larger pastoral charge, Abbotsford included St. Paul's Presbyterian (later United) Church in Huntingdon, a Presbyterian congregation which met at Musselwhite School and North Poplar United Church (located in Matsqui District Municipality). St. Paul's closed in 1950 and North Poplar in 1966. Currently, Trinity is a single point charge in Fraser Presbytery.
