The United Church of Canada South Arm United Church, Richmond, BC

A welcoming, Christ-centred community serving ALL with joy, justice and courage.” As part of the United Church of Canada, we belong to a tradition which allows each congregation great freedom in carving its own identity. South Arm United Church is on the more theologically and spiritually progressive wing of the church. In practical terms, that means we take our scriptural tradition seriously, are committed to learning from the best available scholarship on all aspects of our faith and practice, and believe that the earth is a gift that human beings are to care for on behalf of all creation. It also means that we value the questions, the doubts and the puzzlements that shape each of our lives on a daily basis. There is great wisdom is taking our questions/doubts/puzzlements seriously, for in them we experience the companionship of God. Before you come to conclude that we are a terribly serious bunch (is it already too late?) we also have come to believe that it is part of our calling — and an important part of our connection to God, each other and the world — that we learn to laugh and enjoy one another’s company. The doors of our friendship and companionship are open to you. May God's blessings always be a part of your journey.
