A VIBRANT, values-based, global community - where how you live is more important than what you believe.
Land acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the land on which West Hill United gathers is situated within the traditional and treaty territory of the Mississaugas. More specifically, Credit First Nation's lands which were previously occupied by the Seneca and Huron Wendat First Nations. The rights of indigenous peoples were finally recognized here in the Williams Treaties of 1923. This land is and will continue to be home to the Indigenous peoples. Let us acknowledge the mistakes and traumas of the past through authenticity and support truth and reconciliation. Let us engage and celebrate Indigenous communities by being leaders of action and acknowledging the United Nations' declaration of rights of Indigenous peoples and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's recommendations towards truth and reconciliation. Let us keep these principles close as we continue towards truth and reconciliation and as we move forward with kindness and respect as a community.
If you want to dialogue,
we’re eager to talk
Over the past many months, we've been challenged to engage broadly about who we are and what we see the future of church can be. We'd be delighted to talk with you about it and have extended an invitation to congregations across the country to reach out if they are interested in having a conversation with us. It can be about what this "theologically non-exclusive" church is really like. It might be about the rise of the "Nones" and how we are engaging them. Whatever your interest, we will find a way to engage. So be in touch and let's set a date.
We are an affirming ministry within the United Church of Canada
