Biographical history
In the early 1950s with two United Churches in Nelson situated only two blocks apart, it was determined that Trinity United and St. Paul's United Churches should amalgamate. During that period, a meeting was held which determined that there was cause and support to form a new congregation in the Fairview area in Nelson to serve the needs of Fairview residents as well as those on the North Shore. In 1956, the new congregation of Fairview United met in the Hume School gymnasium. On May 4th, 1958, the new building was dedicated and the members set about being a "Friendly Church for Friendly People." In 1967 the North Shore Hall was opened, sponsored by Fairview United. This hall was eventually sold to the Regional District of Central Kootenay. With declining numbers and an aging congregration it was determined that the two Nelson churches amalgamate. Fairview United joined with St-Paul's Trinity United on July 1, 1995 to become the new Nelson United Church.
