On September 25, 1885 a meeting was held at the home of Robert Norris to plan the construction of a Methodist Church at Langley Prairie. Donations were collected by Henry Davis riding on horseback from Mt. Lehman to Delta. In December the contract was awarded to Thomas Turnbull for the sum of $919.50. The building was dedicated on May 23, 1886 by the Reverend Ebenezer Robson as the Langley Prairie Methodist Church.
On June 10, 1925 as the result of the church union it became the Milner United Church.
This charming old landmark is one of the oldest standing buildings in Langley. The building was officially designated a heritage site February 7, 1983.
