Mission Statement
Called by God, revealed in Jesus Christ, to love our neighbours we strive to become:
An open and inviting community, welcoming and including everyone regardless of age or race, sect or sexual orientation, ability or disability. Especially all those who have often felt excluded or intimidated by the church.
A caring family of faith, challenging and supporting the spiritual development and ministry of children, youth and adults.
Seeking understanding on our life journey, opening ourselves to the Word and Spirit for transformations and renewal.
Offering a loving service in our communities, our country and the world, working for justice, providing creative worship and faithfully proclaiming the Gospel for people living through difficult transitions.
Our Invitation:
Discover what it can mean to be a Christian or rediscover your
Christian roots.
Explore new ways to a spirituality of wholeness and acceptance.
Grow with others on the journey.

Food Bank
Fillmore & Area Food Cupboard is hosted by the former Grace United Church. Members of the community sit on its board, which oversees the collection of donations (money or food), the storage of food items and the distribution of food to those in need. About twice a year their is a food drive; and we receive many generous donations from community residents and businesses. Good News! We have had a reduction in hamper referrals and will only be making-up about two Christmas Hampers this season (2019).
Theological Colleges
We support, as resources permit, the following theological colleges of the United Church of Canada: Atlantic School of Theology, Emmanuel College, St. Andrew's College (Saskatoon), St. Stephen's College (Alberta) and Vancouver School of Theology. Education has become very expensive and our students need our support.
M&S Fund (United Church of Canada)
The Mission and Service Fund (M&S Fund) is the main way our church reaches out to the rest of the world to help our neighbour in a time of need or crisis. Instead of the traditional missionary model, the United Church creates partnerships around the world with organizations that are already set up in the areas we feel the need to serve.
Hear is a story from our "Minute for Mission" program telling about one of many projects our M&S Fund supports....
