The crest is designed in the form of a St. Andrew's Cross with an insignia in each of the four corners. The X at the centre, the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, is a traditional symbol for Christ. Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28-30. The oval shape of the United Church Crest is derived from the outline of a fish, a symbol of identity by early Christians. The initials of the words Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour spell the Greek word for fish.

Welcome to Olds United Church
Located in the heart of Olds, Alberta, the United Church has witnessed the Christian faith through worship, service, and fellowship for 115 years. All are welcome to share in our ministry.

"I know there is nothing better for them,
than to be happy and enjoy themselves."
ECCLESIASTES 3:12

Greetings to you all!
Minister Dong-Chun Seo

We feel like almost summer, even though we have some memory of snow in May sometimes. I hope you may have wonderful seasons of the end of spring and summer this year. Be healthy, be strong, be joyful, and be faithful through the year.

It has been almost 8 years since I started ministry with you in Olds. However, it seems to me it was just like a few months ago that I came to Olds community. For the last 8 years I really have been enjoying working with you. I love your welcoming, openness, and friendliness. From the beginning of my work here I felt like coming back home where my family members are waiting for me.

I also appreciate your generosity, kindness, and love which are parts of our church asset. All of you have shared your wisdom, experience, ability for our ministry and your time, talents, and resources as well. You have such a wonderful mind of understanding and acceptance.

I will be away from the middle of May to the end of June. I will officially change my pastoral relations with Olds United Church from the 1st day of July this year. However, all of you are in my heart and memory. I will always remember each one of you and pray for your life, faith journey, and for our church - Olds United Church.

Your Minister
Rev. Dong Chun Seo

Daily Scripture Reading

Cor 10:13 - No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

 The Olds United Church is a beautiful facility and was built during the ministry of Reverend Jack Towers and dedicated on September 11, 1960. It involved great congregational involvement in planning, construction, and financing.

The church looks wonderful this Christmas season.Our church is always beautifully decorated. Visit our Photo Gallery to see our favourite pictures, or better yet, stop in for a visit!

The United Church is the largest Protestant denomination in Canada with a rich history closely entwined with the development of Canada itself. We believe a United Vision is serving, friendly, flexible, inclusive, welcoming, faithful, compassionate, justice-seeking, caring, peace-seeking, tolerant, and innovative. The vision of the United Church of Canada involves ministry in our own United Churches and in work with partners across the country and around the globe. In the four corners of the United Church crest are symbols, three of which are particularly associated with the three communions, Congregational, Methodist, and Presbyterian, that united to form The United Church of Canada in 1925.
