  • Gender, Sexuality, and Orientation
    We are committed to being a welcoming church that is opposed to discrimination against any person on any basis, including gender and gender identity.
  • Indigenous Ministries
    Indigenous spirituality, leadership, and participation are vital to the life of the United Church.
    • All My Relations
      The Indigenous contribution to the church is honoured by the Mohawk phrase “Akwe Nia'Tetewá:neren”—all my relations—on the crest.

    • Leadership from the Margins
      We are all challenged to change the ways our communities worship, live, and work together.
    • Vision for Becoming an Intercultural Church
      When we affirm and welcome a variety of expressions of faith, it deepens our understanding of God and of each other.
    • Ways of Becoming an Intercultural Church
      This is an exciting time of Spirit-led questioning, experimenting, and mutual learning.
    • Ethnocultural Networks
      Networks connect people with similar passions across the church. Networks are based on interest, not geography, and provide opportunities for individuals and groups to connect around and collaborate on specific areas of ministry or mission.
    • Biblical Background to Interculturalism
      Becoming an intercultural church moves us to the very beginning of our faith.
  • Leadership Counts
    Knowing who our leaders are will help the church continue to live into its commitments to equity and diversity.
