Biographical history
McBride was selected as the site of a new parish and church in 1914 as it was a divisional point in the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, then in the process of being completed. Around 1927 a new mission, called the Upper Fraser Mission, was established with its centre point at McBride and embracing the area between Prince George and Red Pass Junction. The Upper Fraser Mission included several communities in its ministry over the years. Some points in the mission have also been served from Prince George or the North Thompson Mission, including Valemount which was added around 1960 from the North Thompson Mission. By 1991 the mission was a shared ministry with the United Church and is now called Robson Valley. Robson Valley currently includes two congregations: All Saints, McBride and Christ Church, Valemount.
