The United Church of Canada Wesley United Church, Welland, ON

Our Congregation is a part of the United Church of Canada, a progressive denomination of the Christian faith. The Congregation is served by our minister, Rev. Kim Wright, who is paid by the congregation and provides leadership, education, and worship. Wesley has other paid staff such as our designated lay minister, music director, organist, youth coordinator, office administrator, and caretaker. While the minister and staff have special roles in the life of our congregation, the members and volunteers are responsible for “running” the church. We believe in the following values: we value the presence of God in our midst as we worship and grow together; we value God’s leading through the Holy Spirit, striving to discover our purpose; we value inclusive fellowship, open doors, hearts and open minds; we value you and what you bring to this fellowship; we value compassion expressed to one another and to the community.
