In 2007, Bellefair United Church and Kew Beach United Church joined together to form one congregation: BEACH UNITED CHURCH.
The two church buildings remained in use and continued to house our worship events, with Sunday worship rotating between the two.
In 2009, both church buildings were put up for sale.

We have had our final worship service at Beach West. Our Service of Closure and Communion was held on Sunday, February 7th, 2010.
Housing Our Ministries Project
Council has created an overview plan for moving forward with the renovations at Beach East. This plan, called Housing Our Ministries, outlines all aspects of our building project, including financial structures, design decisions, selection of an architect and contractor, timelines, and so on.
Housing Our Ministries is headed up by a Coordinating Group of eight members, supported by a number of Task Groups to look at specific elements of the project.
Members of the Coordinating Group:
Karen Watson, Project Manager
Linda Hawke, Communications Lead
Leigh Bowser, Ministry, Values & Requirements Lead
Nanci Harris, Design Lead
Bob Torrance, Property and Construction Lead
Martin McFarland, Finance Lead
Neil Bailey, Relocation Lead
Abigail Johnson, Clergy support
Our Task Groups will give members of Beach United Church opportunities to be involved in visioning, planning, and implementing our new building. Each member can be involved as they are able for shorter or longer periods of time, as well as offering gifts and talents that we know are a rich part of our congregation.
