Northwood United Church is a Christian community. We gather weekly as a whole community for prayer, celebration, song, learning and to experience the care and belonging of God's love in community.
Northwood is part of the United Church of Canada, a liberal Protestant denomination which seeks to embody God's radical love and new life.
Northwood seeks to embrace all of God's creation with the love of Christ (our Vision statement). As such we are here for each other but we are also here for the wider community and the world. We are a diverse community that believes God loves diversity and so we embrace all people of every age, race, creed, sexual orientation, economic status or any other characteristic.
Northwood is ever changing. Every new person God sends changes the community. Come and see.
