About Eden

Who We Are

 

At Eden United Church, you will find a welcoming, inclusive and diverse community who understand Christianity to be a way of life as opposed to a prescribed set of rules and beliefs. Our interpretations of the Bible and its meaning for today's world are as wide-ranging as we are and so we are invited to explore our beliefs in a variety of ways: through Worship, Traditional Bible Study groups or the New Paradigm Group (an informal contemporary exploration of 21st century faith). We recognize spiritual growth to be a life-long journey and value our church as a safe place to question and grow in faith and compassion. Though we come from different places in our journey, we uphold the calling of Jesus to bring about justice and peace for all of creation and strive to do whatever we can to make this world a better place.

 

 

VISION

 

We are a progressive Christian community that offers a safe place and the resources for people at every stage of their lives to enrich and empower themselves in body, mind and spirit.  We are committed to the human journey to love more deeply and to live more meaningfully.
