We are a group of ordinary people that believe church is a great place to make friends and experience God together. We are a family who believe church should not only be great fun but also a place where lives are radically transformed.

OUR VISION

Christ Church United is a vital part of both the faith-based community and the larger communities within which we live, promoting inclusion and partnering with other organizations to improve the lives of all community members, young and old and every age in between.

CHURCH HISTORY

In June of 1966, the congregations of the Morewood United Church and Trinity United Church in Chesterville created a joint Pastoral Charge, with one minister serving both churches and their communities. In 2013 The Morewood-Trinity Pastoral Charge voted to change the name of Trinity United Church to Christ Church United and the Morewood United Church was sold, creating a single congregation. Pastor Deborah Poirier has served as the Minister since 2013 but has announced her intention to retire this year.

The congregation uses the former Trinity United Church for its worship. The Cornerstone was laid in 1907 and it was completed in 1909. Major renovations were completed in 1973 after a tornado came through Chesterville. The Sanctuary was refurbished in 1985, including the installation of the carpet still in use today. In 1988, a ramp was built that made the church wheelchair accessible. In 2013, offices were installed, along with an updated Audio Visual and Sound System. Given the age of the Church, regular maintenance to the roof and the exterior are required to keep it structurally sound.

In 2021, a small garden plot was developed beside the church and it was expanded in 2022. The goal of the Ffaith (Fresh food always in the home) Garden is to provide fresh produce to the members of our community, through a self- serve Ffaith Pantry set up outside the Church during the late spring, summer and early fall. The Pantry operates 2 days a week during the colder months and continues to provide food and amenities to those in need.
