Innisfail United Church Historical Notes

The first Methodist Church in Innisfail was built at 4948 50 Avenue in 1896. It was destroyed by fire September 3, 1913. A new sanctuary was erected on the same site and dedicated at the Harvest Home celebration, October 1914.

On June 10, 1925 the United Church of Canada came into being through the union of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches.

In 1960 the congregation purchased the local school that had been built in 1938. This building, adjoining the property at 4720 48 Avenue, was then used as a Christian Education Hall.

In 1968 the church which had been built in 1914 was sold and demolished. The present church was built in 1968, adjoining the Christian Education Hall. The dedication service was held June 16, 1968.
