Outreach

Help for the vulnerable of the world is an important part of Christian life and our congregation makes a significant commitment to Outreach.   We currently direct 13% of envelope offerings to a combination of our local Outreach Committee and  the United Church of Canada’s Mission & Service Fund.  Unless otherwise directed, the funds are split 50:50.  Approximately 50% of our locally-directed Outreach funds are sent to World Missions with the balance distributed to Local Missions.

Outreach projects are also supported by our United Church Women groups, the Sunday School, and our Youth Groups. In addition, members of the congregation offer their time and talents to a number of worthy missions including our on-site food cupboard and Pathway Community Programs.

Streetsville United Church, along with Solel Synagogue, and the Unitarian Congregation of South Peel were founding members of Pathway which was created to address the need for affordable housing in Peel Region.

Local Missions

Local Missions include: Pathway Community Programs, The Open Door mission at Square One, The Scott Mission, The Dam, Teen Challenge, and The Mississauga Food Bank, amongst others.

World Missions

In recent years we have provided ongoing support to World Missions through a number of partners – Hope International, Christian Blind Mission, The Leprosy Mission Canada and Operation Christmas Child.  Other funds have been sent to The Botswana Mission and Invisible Children.
