    Biographical history

    Britannia Beach was a port of call for both Methodist and Presbyterian marine mission boats beginning in 1907. By the 1930s, two congregations made up a United Church charge: one at Britannia Mines, variously referred to as the Townsite Church or Mount Sheer, and the other at Britannia Beach. Both carried the identification "Community Church", although they were part of the United Church of Canada. Although sources are not clear, the congregation at the Mines seems to have closed during the 1960s, while the other carried on until ca. 1974.
