This church was originally built by the Seventh Day Adventists. William Manson, a member of the Maple Ridge Dyking District and later Member of Parliament, originally owned the property. Manson had been a Presbyterian, and attended church in Victoria. He found out that during his absences from the church, the pew he rented was sub-let and the church collected double rentals, so he left the Presbyterians and turned to the Adventist church. He donated a seventy-six hectare property to the Adventists, which allowed the construction of the Manson Industrial Academy, a sixteen-room coeducational training school facing Advent Street, and this church further to the south. By the end of the First World War, many of the original families had moved away from the area, and the Academy was closed. In 1922, the church was sold for $1,000 to the Community Church Society, which continues to own and operate the building today.
Built in 1910, this is an example of an early B.C. Mills Timber and Trading Company prefabricated building, and is a rare surviving example of a church built using this system. Patented in 1904, this early successful modular system could be purchased through a catalogue, shipped in pieces, and assembled on-site to provide a variety of houses, churches, schools and banks. Vertical joints between the panels were covered by narrow battens, which gave these buildings their characteristic appearance. The system proved ideal for smaller, developing communities as skilled labourers were not required for their construction and these buildings were widely used throughout western Canada until 1910. The Pitt Meadows Community Church is one of two surviving B.C. Mills prefabricated buildings in Pitt Meadows, the other being the McMyn / Masson Residence.
The church displays some features of the popular Craftsman style, including exposed rafter tails and triangular eave brackets. The entry is under an open front porch, and the roof is capped by an octagonal roof-top monitor capped with a turned, wooden finial. The wooden sash casement windows on the side elevations have coloured glass transoms, and there are leaded stained glass windows in the apse with geometric patterning. The interior retains many original features such as tongue-and-groove wooden cladding on the walls and ceiling, panelled doors and fir flooring. The elaborate early pews were salvaged from a church in Vancouver.
