St. Andrew's United Church, in Kaslo, was first listed in the Canadian Register of Canada's Historic Places in 2012.  To quote the description there:

"St. Andrew's United Church, originally named Robertson Presbyterian Church, is valued as the first church in Kaslo. Constructed in 1893, it is believed to be one of the oldest continuously operating churches in British Columbia. St. Andrew's United Church is a testament to the spiritual beliefs and commitment of the early settlers in Kaslo who donated materials and volunteered their labour to build it.

St. Andrew's United Church is

"The cultural and social value of St. Andrew's United Church is demonstrated in the tradition of providing sanctuary and charity for the community in times of need. For example, the church provided sanctuary to people who lost their homes in the large fire of 1894, even before interior construction of the church was completely finished; it also provided refuge for more people following the flood later that same year. When, from 1942 to 1945, St. Andrew's United Church welcomed the Japanese Canadian (Nikkei) Mission under the leadership of Rev. K. Shimizu, the church was shared for services, reflecting the accepting and embracing spirit of the church members. 

"This church is a landmark in Kaslo and is valued for the modest Gothic design, including the spire-topped belfry. The bell, which was purchased in 1896 and used as an early warning system for the village, is still in use today. The spacious sanctuary, with its high ceiling and windows that let in natural light, contributes to the sense of quiet and reverence in this place of worship. The design of the sanctuary and the superb resulting acoustics are valuable for church and community musical events such as concerts, chorale workshops and jazz vespers. "
