The sanctuary of this United church on Mulvey Avenue in Winnipeg, designed by architect George Andrew Stewart, was completed in 1949, replacing a nearby church building at the corner of Harrow Street and Fleet Avenue dating from 1928. It was dedicated at a service on 4 December 1949 attended by Manitoba Conference President William George Martin, Winnipeg Presbytery Chairman Reverend George F. Dyker, Superintendent of Missions Cecil Harold Best, and Lieutenant Governor Roland Fairbairn McWilliams.

In 1953, a Christian Education Wing was added to the structure.
