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.

2012 New Year Message
Minister Dong-Chun Seo

"You are precious in my sight, and honoured, and I love you.
Do not be afraid.
I have called you by name.
When you pass through the waters I will be with you.
When you pass through the fire, you will not be burnt.
I will save your life.
You are mine.
I will bring your people home."

God promises to be with the exiles, gathering those who have been scattered.

In this New Year, we rejoice that God's word continues to hold promise and power in our lives calling each of us by name.

God continues to speak to us. God draws near us.

God rejoices over us. God invites us to renewed relationship.

God speaks a word of blessing and promise, offering identity and belonging to all of us.

God encourages us to continue our journey of ministry and mission through this New Year.

Peace in Christ

Your Minister
Rev. Dong Chun Seo

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.
