This United church at the corner of Magnus Avenue and Railway Street in Winnipeg, was designed by architect Dwight Rupert Johnston and built between October 1963 and April 1964 at a cost of about $75,000. Its congregation had started around 1948 and regular Sunday services began in 1950 in a local community club under the guidance of Robertson Memorial United Church. It became a self-supporting church in 1963.
The church closed in June 2005. Files of the former church are held at the United Church of Canada Archives.
