Originally a Congregational Church, the present Emmanuel United replaced Beach Meadows Congregational Church, established and built in 1862. The first church was torn down and replaced with the present building, which was dedicated On March 19, 1911. The cornerstone indicates that construction on the building commenced in 1910.

The church remained Beach Meadows Congregational until 1925, when Church Union in Canada unified all Congregational, Methodist and two thirds of Presbyterian churches into the United Church of Canada. At that time Beach Meadows Congregational was renamed Emmanuel United Church.

History of the Brooklyn Pastoral Charge

Beach Meadows began as a Congregational church congregation which was organized in 1862. A Congregational church building was erected in Beach Meadows on the Old Meeting-House Road in that same year. In 1870, the congregation was served by ministers from Brooklyn. The Congregational church building was torn down and replaced by a church dedicated on 19 March 1911. This congregation entered The United Church of Canada in 1925 and the church was renamed Emmanuel United Church.
