People/Subject

Canadian Girls In Training

United Church girls group in 1950s.

Langley United Church

The Langley United Church congregation initially came into being in 1927. Services were held in a building known as the "Free to All Sunday School Building" on Glover Road. Early in the 1930s, the congregation decided to build a church of its own and land was purchased on the north side of New McLellan Road (56th Avenue) just south of Rump and Sendall's chicken hatchery in what was then a residential neighbourhood, at a cost of $200. The church was initially called the Langley Prairie United Church and was part of the Murrayville Pastoral Charge. In 1950, the congregation became part of the Fraser Presbytery. In 1976, a new building (the current building) was finished on the current site of 200th street between Fraser Highway and 56th Avenue. An addition was made in 1991 and a commercial kitchen was added in the late 1990s.
