Who Are We?

Our Faith Statement

We, from young to old, of St. John’s Congregation of the United Church of Canada, as disciples of Christ created by God, empowered by the Holy Spirit and redeemed by the Living Christ, strive to live in fellowship at home and abroad in caring and sharing for and with others for the building up of the body of Christ. We are willing to admit our failings and shortcomings and to take risks to enable growth to celebrate the new life given freely by God in Jesus Christ.

Mission Statement

We, at St. John’s United Church, strive to make our church a spiritual centre that welcomes people of all ages to grow in faith and become alive in Christ.

The Creed of the United Church of Canada

This Creed of the United Church of Canada and the above Faith Statement regarding shared ministry reflect the mission of St. John’s United Church.

We are not alone,
    we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
    who has created and is creating,
    who has come in Jesus,
       the Word made flesh,
       to reconcile and make new,
    who works in us and others
       by the Spirit.
We trust in God. 
We are called to be the Church:
    to celebrate God’s presence,
    to live with respect in Creation,
    to love and serve others,
    to seek justice and resist evil,
    to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
       our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
    God is with us.
We are not alone.

    Thanks be to God.
