History
The earliest Methodist services in the Port Kells area were held in a private home in 1888. In 1907, the Anniedale Methodist Church was built. From 1908-1914, the Anniedale Methodist Church was part of the Cloverdale Methodist Circuit, associated with Cloverdale, Clayton, Barnston Island and Mud Bay congregations. From 1914-1924 the circuit included only Cloverdale, Clayton and Anniedale. From 1924-1929 the church was linked with Tynehead and Sullivan congregations as part of the Cloverdale Pastoral. In October of 1929 the first United Church services was conducted in Port Kells. In 1933, services were temporarily discontinued while the Anniedale church was dismantled and moved to Port Kells, rebuilt on rented property. Services on the new site began again in 1934. In 1949 a new church was built on donated land at its present site. The Port Kells Mission Field then comprised Tynehead, Port Kells and West Langley preaching points. Port Kells continued on as its own Pastoral Charge until 1988, when it was closed as a United Church.
