St. Stephen's United Church in Qualicum Beach delivers an exceptional 96.7% of its spending to programs — placing it well above the 90.2% peer median for congregations — while maintaining a perfect legitimacy profile across 59 years of continuous registration. One critical flag warrants attention: the church has directed funds to Moorecroft Camp Society, a charity whose registration was revoked for failure to file.
Our Verdict: A financially healthy and well-governed United Church congregation with outstanding program delivery, though donors should be aware that funds have flowed to a revoked charity — a connection worth understanding before giving.
