Administrative history
The United Mennonite Church in Black Creek, British Columbia was founded in 1935 by Mennonites settlers from the prairies who had arrived in the early 1930s. They built their own meeting house in 1937. They had further building projects in 1963 and 1994.
United Mennonite Church of Black Creek is one of the oldest churches affiliated with Mennonite Church British Columbia, one of seven BC churches that are listed as attending the first provincial conference in 1936.
(See GAMEO for names of leaders and for membership numbers.)
On 7 July 2013, the congregation joined Mennonite Church Canada after having withdrawn from the conference approximately 10 years earlier.
