Transform lives.
Inspire meaning and purpose.
Build a better world.
United Church people across the country join together to share what we can with people and places in need through a unified fund called Mission and Service.
We invite you to make a gift to Mission and Service.
Mission and Service Worship
Your gifts to Mission and Service should be celebrated, and what better place than in worship. Mission and Service provides clean water, food, shelter, medical aid, community of faith support, refugee programs, and emergency aid, both in Canada and globally.
Stewardship
Regularly teaching about stewardship, sharing, and generosity and then giving people ways to practise will deepen personal faith and transform your community of faith as you walk away from scarcity onto the journey of abundance.
What is Mission and Service?
What does it do and how can you give? The people of the United Church are committed to turning compassion into action.

Advent Impact Report 2024
At the end of 2023, the United Nations estimated that there were 117 million forcibly displaced people in the world and that 47 million of them—40 percent—were children! In Canada, 1.8 million children go to school hungry because their families can’t make ends meet. Moreover, StatsCan reports that seven in ten children reported being bullied in the past year because of who they are or what they believe.
How can you be an answer to children’s prayers?
