History
The original sanctuary of our building was built in 1957, and in 1994, a large new sanctuary was added.
Stony Plain United Church began in 1907 as a Methodist Church in its present day location. After the church was destroyed by a fire in 1952, a new building was constructed with a manse built beside the church. In the early 1993 the congregation decide to expand the facility. So the manse was removed and a new sanctuary and offices were built. The first service in the new sanctuary was held in 1994.
The Mewassin United Church was was built as a Reformed Church in 1926 to meet the needs of the local residents, many who originated from Norka, Russia. By 1995 it decided to become a part of the United Church of Canada.
Together Mewassin and Stony Plain churches form a Pastoral Charge or Community of Faith. They are governed by an Official Board.

Community
The Stony Plain United Church is located in the downtown part of Stony Plain. It is central to the community and provides a place for Girl Guides to meeting, Al-Anon, AA, and other community groups to meeting. While many feel the church is all about Sunday Worship, there is plenty of other community activities, such as our annual Harvest Feast (Fall Supper), Cantata and Advent Dinner, Cookie Walk, and more. There are weddings and funerals. Home owner association events, and cottage crafter sales.
Two other churches use our facilities for their Sunday Worship and events, Bethel and Baptists.
There is coffee after church on most Sundays. Breakfast - last Sunday of the month (from January to May, and from September to November). Lunch Sunday - once a month (from January to May, and from September to November).
