Story

At the time of writing (Oct 2017), Edmonton Uniting Church, in its current building location, is almost 20 years old. We are a diverse multi-cultural and multi-generational church connecting with Jesus in our community. We minister to people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Single, or married, with or without family - all are welcome.

Mission

Our people are our most valuable resource. We believe in the priesthood of all believers, with every person empowered to minister to others as God leads them and enables them through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Impressum

On any Sunday more than 2,500 congregations worship at a Uniting Church including many congregations that worship in languages other than English. Our churches can be found deep in the heart of our cities, or in our most isolated and outback towns. Many congregations have existed for years while others are new and worship in different ways. Even though our congregations can be vastly different, each is a community in which people seek to follow Jesus, learn about God, share their faith, care for each other, serve the local community and seek to live faithfully and with real joy. The Uniting Church in Australia (UCA) beliefs are drawn from the Bible and from the Apostles’ and Nicene creeds. The Church also heeds the Reformation Witness in the Scots Confession of Faith (1647), the Savoy Declaration (1658), and the preaching of John Wesley in his Forty Four Sermons (1793). It affirms the place of ongoing theological, literary, historical and scientific study. The UCA’s Basis of Union (1971) brings together aspects of these writings and traditions and sets out the church’s way of living and being.
