Our History
In the late 1940s, four families, under the leadership of Wm. Melnychuk, had the vision to establish a church for the Ukrainian-speaking community in Edmonton and the surrounding area. With God’s help, the Ukrainian Pentecostal Temple at 10521-97 St. was constructed and dedicated in 1949 to the glory of God, serving the community and Slavic people for many years.
In 2008, the congregation felt it was time to move to a new location, leading to the purchase of a beautiful building on the south side of Edmonton, where we are currently located: Mill Creek Christian Assembly — 8928-83 Ave., Edmonton, AB.
The church continues to honor its Ukrainian heritage while serving people in both English and Slavic languages. We hold English services every Sunday at 10:30 AM, and Ukrainian services are offered at 1:30 PM on the last Sunday of each month. No matter your nationality or beliefs, you are welcome to join us—we would love to have you attend!
