Built in 1907, the community church has hosted many church services, weddings, funerals meetings, and celebrations through the years. The building was beginning to show its age and the Robson Community Memorial Church Society recently oversaw a major renovation, which included a new addition to the rear of the church. The addition nearly doubled the size of the church, adding washrooms and a kitchen and dining room. The renovation was accomplished through volunteer labour and donations.
The church reopened for services on December 8, 2012. Services are now held every Saturday morning at 10 a.m., with coffee/tea and muffins being offered one half hour before services. After services there is a pot luck event at 12:30 p.m.
Apparently, this church was built as the Baptist Mission Church in 1907, or possibly 1908. In 1913 it became affiliated with the Anglican Church of Canada in the Anglican Diocese of Kootenay. It is presently operated as a sub-parish of the Parish of St. David in Castlegar.
To the rear is the church's cemetery. In it, besides many of the community's pioneers, are two plaques placed in memory of the occupants of two cemeteries, those of Deer Park and Renata, which were flooded with the construction of Hugh Keenleyside dam and the consequent formation of Arrow Lakes in 1965. There are currently approximately 400 interments in this cemetery.
