ABOUT OUR CHURCH
The Inlet United Church is a dynamic and welcoming church. Our highly motivated and creative ministers provide programs to engage all ages and needs of the congregation and our community. Our beautiful new development The Springs, fronting on 2312 St. Johns St. in Port Moody, was completed in 2022. The Springs includes our new Inlet United Church (sanctuary space, church office and meeting spaces), affordable rental housing, and the Tri-Cities Children’s Centre (operated by Kinsight and Share Family and Community Services). The Inlet United Church spaces are located on the north side of the building at 2315 Spring Street. Our second Inlet United Church site at Ioco is a heritage church.
Our Vision: We are rooted in our Christian faith, supported by the strength and wisdom of our faith community, connected with the communities within which we live, work and serve.
