Guiding Our National Church’s Strategic Plan With Call and Vision

This post highlights The United Church of Canada’s Call and Vision. Please visit their webpage for worship and community resources, a PDF download of the Strategic Plan, and more.

The United Church of Canada is a community of hope, a vibrant and vital church with both purpose and vision. We live in a time of rapid change in religious life, great inequities between peoples, and collective harm to our earth community. As church, we have been complicit in injustice. And yet we have this hope. We believe we continue to be called to witness in love and justice to the liberating, healing Christ risen in this place and time.

Called by God, as disciples of Jesus, The United Church of Canada seeks to be a bold, connected, evolving church of diverse, courageous, hope-filled communities united in deep spirituality, inspiring worship, and daring justice.

The Call and Vision is commended to regional councils, communities of faith, and United Church incorporated ministries for engagement and discernment for their ministry. It is shared with the broader community as a pledge of identity and hope.

These statements also provide purpose and direction within the 2022‒2025 Strategic Plan of the General Council Office. The United Church of Canada Vision reflects what the church aspires to be over a 5- to 10-year span.

Together, we strive towards repentance, repair, and right relations with all peoples and the planet. Our call and vision statement speaks to how we boldly embody the Christian story in this time, filled with the certainty of resurrection and hope for new life.
