Our History

The United Church of Canada was formed in 1925 from existing Methodist and Presbyterian congregations.

Built in 1978, the Nanaimo Ecumenical Centre was a cooperative venture between the United Church of Canada on Vancouver Island and the Roman Catholic Church of Vancouver Island. In the 1970's there was an idea of cooperation between the congregations in the area. Lantzville Roman Catholic Church and Lantzville United Church, Wellington Roman Catholic Church and Wellington United Church had a vision that by coming together and sharing their resources they would be better able to serve the local community. So, in 1978 Trinity United Church (T.U.) and Trinity Catholic Church (T.C.) were created.

Both congregations have their homes in the Nanaimo Ecumenical Centre. The congregations used the same facilities and Worship space. On special occasions T.U. and T.C. came together as one community, thus building the ecumenical vision. In 2020, T.U. decided to leave the Nanaimo Ecumenical Centre and to move to a new location nearby.

T.U. new building started operations in 2021 located at 6011 Doumont Road having its first in-sanctuary service on September 5th, 2021 and continue to serve with our Lord's help and grace.
