Serving the Streetsville and Meadowvale communities since 1836.
Our Belief
We believe in God the Father, Creator and Sovereign of everything;
God the Son, sent to us as Jesus of Nazareth; and God the Spirit, the one
who gives us forgiveness, new life and grace.
We nurture and spread this belief through public worship lead
by our ministers and choir.
Our Fellowship
We care for those within the fellowship through pastoral
visiting, the neighbouring program, the weekly coffee hour, various social
events, the varied activities of the United Church Women and
the work of the Official Board through its various committees.
While our dedicated staff serves many core functions, volunteerism
also plays a large role in achieving our goals of fellowship
and giving.
A Spiritual Oasis
We are a spiritual oasis for many different kinds of
people with a common need for uncompromising faith. Our members have come
with a rich variety of church backgrounds, faith experiences,
life tragedies and individual failures. Many have received
that saving touch from the Lord Jesus Christ, which expresses
itself in personal repentance, faith, forgiveness and fellowship.
Our History
For nearly two hundred years, we have been ministering to the spiritual
needs of our Streetsville and Meadowvale communities. Established
as the Methodist Church for Streetsville in 1820 and joining
the United Church in the union of 1927, Streetsville
United Church has grown with the Streetsville community to
remain a vital contributor to the spiritual renewal of its
membership.
The present sanctuary was dedicated in 1876 with additions coming in 1951 (offices) and 1964 (Christian Education wing to which an elevator was added in 1984). Major renovations occurred in the 1992-1994 period to repair several problems; in the spring of 2003 a new 'digital pipe' organ was installed in the sanctuary.
Early summer 2008 we undertook a landscaping project to improve our appearance in the Streetesvillle community. The YouTube video below shows some "before" and "after" pictures:
Our Programs
Under the leadership of our minister, Reverend John Tapscott, Streetsville United Church holds weekly worship at 10 a.m. Sundays. A wide range of programs which provides opportunities to expand our reach and build on our mission includes: Sunday School, a Youth Ministry, women's activities including UCW groups, and various groups associated with the Scouting movement.
