"A dedicated and faithful congregation of the United Church of Canada offering faith in Jesus Christ, hope in God's love and acceptance in Jesus' name through worship, prayer and service to our community."
Welcome
Many folks today find themselves on a spiritual journey. If you are reading this webpage, chances are you have paused on your internet trek to visit us here at Norfolk Street.
Welcome to our community!
Norfolk Street United Church has had a long and storied history over some 173 years. Today we find ourselves looking forward to the unfolding of our new century and all of its promise. Our congregation is "building a community to reach a community" as part of a revitalized downtown core.
We realize that our architecture with its looming presence can be quite intimidating.
However once you are through the doors the walls melt away as you are greeted by a group of people committed to the creation of a joyful and uplifting atmosphere in which to worship God.
Not only do we welcome new people, but we encourage them to take an active roll in helping to shape our sense of identity and mission as it is a dynamic process rather than a static one. Norfolk Street is realistic about who we are and the areas where we want to see ourselves grow but yet we never stop dreaming.
We encourage you then to consider making Norfolk Street United Church an extended stop on your faith journey.
Yours in Christ,
Entering the Mystery: A New Experience of Christmas
