Kingsway-Lambton United Church 3.5

"Whenever you did it for any of my sisters and brothers, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me" (Matthew 25: 40)

The Gathered Community; The Congregation

The people of Kingsway-Lambton are committed to deep personal faith, caregiving, bringing the Good News of God's unconditional Love in and through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to more people and providing service to our community.

It’s been that way since the beginning. While our cornerstone was laid in 1936, and the church formally dedicated a year later, our roots date to an 1845 Methodist heritage.

Kingsway-Lambton United Church is a part of The United Church of Canada (UCC), a 1925 union of Methodist and a majority of Presbyterian Churches, the Congregational Union of Canada, and, in 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren.

The United Church believes in Scripture as the standard of Christian life and faith and acknowledges the teaching of the familiar Ecumenical Creeds of the Church - Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed. It maintains the teachings and doctrines consistent with the Protestant Reformation.

While maintaining tradition is important, the Church strives for contemporary expressions of faith. “A New Creed” is an example of one way in which the Church holds the past sacred while seeking ways to keep it relevant to modern life.

A New Creed

We are not alone, we live in God's world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new, who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the Church:
to celebrate God's Presence,
to live with respect in Creation,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us,
We are not alone. Thanks be to God.
Amen.
