The United Church of Canada

The United Church of Canada is a church with a rich, progressive, and continuing history of welcoming all in the name of Christ.

The United Church of Canada came together in 1925, through a union of Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational, and other Christian churches – one of the first ecumenical unions in the world to bring together major Christian denominations into one body.

“We are not alone,” is the first line of “A New Creed,” one of our statements of belief. The United Church of Canada has a long history of welcoming people of all backgrounds and orientations – wherever you are in your faith journey. Learn more on their website.

The North Toronto Cluster
At ESG we believe in expanding beyond our walls, not only through our digital approach to our services, but by sharing with our local United Church community as well. We belong to the North Toronto Cluster, a group of ten congregations service located in the Yonge Eglinton corridor.
Just 7.5 kilometres separates us at the furthest points. We’re good neighbours who offer, for example, a traveling study group that moves from congregation to congregation to inspire learning on a wide variety of topics. Learn more at the North Toronto Cluster’s website.
