A Sort of History by Rev S.D. Robertson When one starts out to write a history of a Church or congregation there are all sorts of challenges which confront one. In this brief history I have chosen not to let that worry me and I am not trying to write anything definitive - just a rambling story. There will be omission (sins thereof) and commission (sins thereof also) The history of this congregation goes back to around 1913 when a student minister was in the area and it was in that year that services were conducted in what is now the Bastura block by the resident minister - the Rev. Mr. David Pile. This was a Presbyterian effort and the Methodists were also active. It would appear that the building that was used prior to this one and which was located (and still is) on the corner of Centre St. and 4th Ave. was purchased in 1915 and used for 15 years.
