Fun Facts about the United Church
(borrowed from the United Church of Canada's website: http://www.united-church.ca)
  • The United Church of Canada prides itself on welcoming everyone the way Jesus did, regardless of age, race, class, gender, orientation, or physical ability.
  • We believe the Spirit of God is at work in many different faith communities.
  • We believe we strengthen one another to work, through God's grace, for a better world. To this end, we cooperate with other churches, faith traditions, and people of goodwill to eliminate poverty and protect those who are most vulnerable.
  • The church works hard to appreciate people of all ages, from grandparents to newborns.
  • We believe God intends loving relationships to be faithful, responsible, just, headling, and sustaining of the couple and those around them. These relationships may be between a woman and a man, or between people of the same gender.
  • As a source of wisdom, personal prayer, and devotion, we believe the Bible can bring us closer to God. We often refer to a passage as "the Word of God." By this we mean the writer was inspired by God. [Some] of what was experienced and written then doesn't fit with today's world. 
  • Communion is a symbolic meal that is open to everyone.
