Central United Church is located in the heart of historic Unionville. It is one of some 4,000 congregations across Canada belonging to the United Church of Canada, the largest Protestant denomination in Canada.

The United Church of Canada is the product of a merger in 1925 of Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian denominations. Congregations from the Evangelical United Brethren denomination joined in 1968. For this reason the United Church has seen itself as both a "United" and a "uniting" church. Central United Church was founded in 1840 as a Methodist congregation. The sanctuary dates back to 1879. Extensive renovations were undertaken in 1986, when the sanctuary was remodeled and the present office building was added. The United Church of Canada represents a broad spectrum of theological thought. Central United Church has always adhered to traditional Christian faith and moral principles.

• We have an open heart and an open door.
• We recognize the spiritual yearnings felt in today's society and seek to share the deeply satisfying presence of Jesus Christ and a faith that is practical and supportive with individuals and families in their daily lives and struggles.
• In these times of stress and change, we seek to offer worship which is uplifting, and Biblical study which is faith building.
• We recognize the need to care about the world in which we live and we provide opportunities to share the love of Jesus Christ in word and deed.
• We recognize that participation in a church is a new or unfamiliar experience for many people and we welcome the opportunity to be supportive to them.

Our congregation's theme is: "To grow in Christ and help others grow with us."
