Lakeshore United Church Women

Serving in Friendship

For over 60 years the United Church Women across the United Church of Canada have given of their time, talent and resources to support the mission and ministry of local congregations and the wider church at all levels.  It is no different for the United Church Women at Lakeshore.

When the three founding congregations amalgamated, so too did the UCW groups at each church - North St., Victoria St. and Benmiller churches.   The amalgamation of the groups brought renewed energy and momentum.  Often there are over 60 women in attendance at a UCW meeting or meal. 

The Lakeshore UCW is involved with the Presbyterial UCW, which is a regional gathering of UCW groups who meet regularly for fellowship, study and worship.

If you would like to get involved with the UCW or attend their meetings, watch the Church bulletin, or contact the office, 519-524-2103.

Our Mission:  "With Christ as our Guide, we are called to be an inclusive, progressive faith family, to worship God, nurture our community and serve the wider world."
Statement of Intention: 
  • We are intent on making Lakeshore United Church a broader reflection of God’s vision for creation, to be a safer haven for all seeking peace, justice, affirmation, acceptance, and equality.
  • We are a people who celebrate differences and accept them as gifts; in a place where new ideas are embraced, rather than feared, as we learn to expand our hearts and open our minds so that all are welcome.
  • We are called to be a part of a ministry that welcomes and includes all, honours the gifts of each, and recognizes that all receive God’s abundant grace.
  • We affirm that this includes full participation of persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, races, abilities, ages, economic circumstances, ethnic and faith backgrounds in the life and work of the ministry.
  • Jesus reached out to all people, honouring all in their diversity.  We celebrate the richness this brings to Lakeshore United Church.
