About Us

Jesus welcomed everyone, whether they were poor, rich, or just getting by; ill or healthy; self-made or educated; popular or a loner; secure or full of doubts. The United Church of Canada prides itself on welcoming everyone the way Jesus did, regardless of age, race, class, gender, orientation, or physical ability. For a complete overview of our beliefs visit the United Church website.

Our congregation is a loving and caring community of faith. We are diverse in age, and background, and play an active role in our rural community. Faith formation and education are integral learning goals for our welcoming group of congregants as we share the story and experience of faith in Christ in Elmvale.
