The Salmo United Church originated in the mid-thirties, eventually becoming the centre of a charge that included the nearby mining settlements. Worship services were held irregularly depending on the availability of a minister from Trail, Fruitvale, or Nelson.
By 1958 Salmo was booming with logging, sawmills, and three mines working in the area. Church membership had reached a point where they ventured to call a minister but by the late 1960’s all three mines had closed down in quick succession.
In 1972 Salmo again aligned with Fruitvale as the Beaver Valley/Salmo Pastoral Charge, and ecumenical pastorate served alternately by United Church ministers and Anglican priests. When unification talks broke down between the two denominations each called its own priest/minister.
About the Service
Worship Time: Sundays 9:00 a.m.
About the Neighbourhood
Ours is a village of 1007 residents that services a rural area of approximately 3000 people. We are approximately 45 minutes away from both Nelson and Trail. There is a strong tradition of church life in the area with seven active congregations: Baptist, Pentecostal, Roman Catholic, Victory Church, Jehovah’s Witness, Anglican and United.
We hope that our affordable housing prices and quality access to the outdoors will make us an attractive community for retirees, who will hopefully make Salmo United Church their new faith home.
