Presbyterian
The Presbyterian missionaries arrived in the Peace country before the first wave of settlers starting in 1911. Reverend Alexander Forbes arrived in Beaverlodge in 1909 and held services in Rede Stone’s home. Services were also held at Saskatoon Lake before a permanent mission was established.

Reverend Alexander Forbes returned in 1910 to stay and establish the Presbyterian Church in the Peace country.
There was early cooperation between the Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church in the Peace River country. Reverend Alexander Forbes agreed with the Methodist minister, Reverend C.F. Hopkins, to divide the region with a line that would run north and south, dividing Saskatoon Lake. The Methodists served the territories west of the line, while the Presbyterian Church would serve the east.
The first Presbyterian service was held in May 1910 at what would become Grande Prairie. The McQueen Presbyterian church was built and opened on 8 October 1911.

Presbyterian services were held in the homes of members of the congregations in Bear Lake, Twin Lakes, Spring Creek, Flying Shot, Glen Leslie, and Bezanson.
The Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church united in Grande Prairie in 1925 with Reverend Alex Graham being the first minister of the United Church. The congregation of the United Church at Grande Prairie built and opened a church in 1926.
The United Church has continued to serve it parishioners through the waves of settlement. It remains a strong institution in the Peace River country.
