The United Church is a uniquely Canadian institution, created in 1925 through an Act of Parliament. The Basis of Union brought together Methodist, Congregationalist, most Presbyterian and existing Union Churches into a single Canadian voice of reformed Protestant Christianity, while respecting the histories and faith traditions of each. This was the first such cross-denomination church union in the world, the outcome of the ecumenical vision of the time.
The United Church of Canada strives to be inclusive in its beliefs and has a strong tradition of advocating for social justice. It brings together the rich theological perspectives of its constituent parts, while welcoming a range of beliefs.
The United Church is governed democratically through national, regional and local courts, which formulate policy and oversee individual congregations.
