History
Both the Methodists and Presbyterians were active in Barkerville from the 1860's. United Church activity was renewed in the 1930's by a new phase of gold mining activity centred at the new town of Wells in the Barkerville area. The Barkerville United Church was part of the Barkerville-Wells Pastoral Charge from its formation in 1934. Last mention of the Barkerville congregation is made in the 1961 yearbook statistics. The Barkerville Woman's Association of Barkerville United Church was formed in 1938. Meetings were discontinued in 1943.
