    Biographical history

    Oyama United Church was formed in 1925. Formerly Oyama Union Church (earliest reference from 1906 is Oyama Independent Church), the congregation consisted of Methodist, Presbyterian and Anglican members under the Methodist Church, namely on Oyama Circuit. The circuit also included a Methodist congregation at Wood's Lake (later called Winfield). With union Oyama became part of Oyama Pastoral Charge, containing former Presbyterian and Methodist congregations and including Ellison (or Whelan's) which had been connected with Mount View Methodist Church in Rutland, Okanagan Centre and Winfield. In 1940 Oyama charge was combined with Rutland Pastoral Charge, creating Rutland-Oyama Pastoral Charge. In 1960 this charge was divided again, bringing Oyama, Okanagan Centre and Winfield together into Wood Lake Pastoral Charge. In 1971 these three congregations agreed to amalgamate into one at Winfield.
