​​Welcome to our church!
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed, straight, gay, confused or questioning.
We especially welcome wailing babies and excited toddlers.
We welcome you whether you can sing like Pavarotti or just growl quietly to yourself.
You’re welcome here if you’re ‘just browsing’, just woken up or just got out of prison.
We don’t care if you’re more Christian than the United Church Moderator or haven’t been to church since Christmas ten years ago.
We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast.
We welcome keep-fit mums, hockey dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians and junk-food eaters.
We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted.
We welcome you if you’re having problems, are down in the dumps or don’t like ‘organized religion.’
We offer a welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or are here because granny is visiting and wanted to come to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced, both or neither.
We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, or got lost on the Expressway and wound up here by mistake.
We welcome pilgrims, tourists, seekers, doubters… and you!

We are a Christian Community, following Jesus by embracing and affirming the dignity and worth of every person, since we are all created in God's image. We welcome into full participation in the life of our church persons of every race, ethnicity, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, social and economic situation, marital status, and faith background. We strive to show our love through services to all humanity.
Emmanuel United Church is an Affirming church. We acknowledge that all sexual orientations and gender identities are a gift from God and welcome. We pledge to make Emmanuel a safe space for all. We celebrated God's gift of diversity and seek justice, peace and understanding.
Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before God.
