Metropolitan United Church

At Metropolitan United Church, we have a long history dating back 180 years.   And we're looking forward to a long, vital future as well.  But we know the world is changing, and we must change too.

To remain relevant in the years ahead, we recognize that we must provide worship experiences that appeal to a diverse range of people.  That's where Emerging Spirit comes in.

Emerging Spirit is an initiative focused on establishing and nurturing a new relationship between the United Church and Canadians, especially people between the ages of 30-45, because this is one of the first Canadian generations to grow up largely outside of the church. Many are at a turning point in their lives where they're considering major decisions about career directions, marriage and children, and setting down roots. Many are also considering questions about spirituality and whether or not they could participate in a faith community. The goal of Emerging Spirit is to help the church be a more open, welcoming place for all who visit or seek to join the church.

Emerging Spirit's provocative national media campaign is now appearing in magazines across the country. This campaign will invite people who are curious about religion, spirituality, and moral issues to explore these topics with others at a new website designed for non-church-goers and by visiting a United Church congregation.  Visit the site at www.wondercafe.ca
