Children are invited to meet in the sanctuary for the opening of the church service. They will then depart for Sunday School. The focus this year will be biblical stories and themes through story, drama, art and science.

All are welcome. We invite you to join with us as we share the message of Jesus.

A Brief History of Como Lake United Church

In 1924 Central Church (Methodist), began meeting in Central School on Austin Avenue and in the home of Mr. & Mrs. W.A. Crawley.

In 1925 a small Central Church was built on Austin Avenue where the Safeway store now stands. With the formation of the United Church that same year it took the name Coquitlam Central United.
