Our Mission

The United Church seeks to share with partner churches and agencies God's mission, embodied in Jesus Christ, for wholeness, love and justice for all people and creation.

Our Goals

The Division of World Outreach is the committee of London Conference of the United Church of Canada with a focus on global concerns. We aim to educate members about global justice and peace, to raise awareness of global social issues and encourage people to be active in the mission work of the church.

Peace

Understanding and acting on peace and justice concerns are a focus of the Division's work.

Overseas Personnel

Overseas personnel from London Conference serve in Japan, Mozambique and Nicaragua. A list of requests for people to serve overseas is available from the United Church web site.

In the name of the Creator, who gathers us,

In the name of Jesus, who frees us,

In the name of the Spirit, who sustains us,

Let God’s name be praised.

Who are We?

We are the people who have come to learn,

We are the people who can teach each other,

We are different,

We are the same,

We are the people of God,

We are the people of the church,

Why are we here?

To worship, to sing in joy, to grow and stretch,

To share our stories and our skills,

To strengthen our leadership in God’s church, and

To renew our commitment to struggle for the

Coming of justice throughout the world.

And may God go with us!

Amen.
