About Islington United Church

Our Mission: To be an open, friendly and caring church where people of all ages are invited to discover, explore and develop their spirituality in Christ's name.

Islington United Church began nearly 160 years ago as part of a Methodist circuit - a village church where a preacher on horseback would stop once a week for a worship service with the local farm people. Today we are a large, thriving urban/suburban congregation at a busy intersection in a major international city. The current neo-Gothic sanctuary, constructed in the late 1940s, reminds us of our past, as we look upward for strength and guidance for the future God has in store for us. The beauty of the soaring arches help us to remember God's great love for all the world.

We are delighted to welcome hundreds of visitors every year, and thrilled that a great many choose to continue with us as we share the journey of faith.

Sunday morning worship (9:30 and 11:15 a.m.; 10:00 a.m. in summer) is conducted in a progressive traditional style, with consistently excellent preaching and wonderful music. On the first Sunday evening of every month from October to June, we gather at 7:30 p.m. to pray in the style of the Taizé community.

Islington United Church is a hive of inspired activity. From coffee hour to special suppers, from the work of the Refugee Support Committee to three UCW units, from fabulous choirs to dedicated Stephen Ministry, from thriving Small Group Ministries to excellent Sunday School and Youth programs (and much more!), this is the place to be for discovering, exploring, and expressing your spirituality.

Come for a visit. Find out for yourself why this is the spiritual home of some 3000 people.

Islington United Church is wheelchair accessible and we provide hearing devices for worship services.
