Rooted in faith, growing in love, reaching out in service
A rich heritage of faith and community service
Wolfe Island Pastoral Charge has been a beacon of faith and hope on Wolfe Island for many generations. Nestled in the heart of our beautiful island community, our church has witnessed countless baptisms, confirmations, weddings, and celebrations of life, marking the important milestones of island families for decades.
As part of the United Church of Canada, we are proud to belong to a progressive, inclusive denomination that emphasizes social justice, environmental stewardship, and welcoming all people regardless of background, identity, or circumstance. Our church reflects the unique character of Wolfe Island - a close-knit community where neighbors care for one another, where traditions are cherished, and where faith is lived out in practical, meaningful ways.
Located at 7 Joslin Lane, our historic church building stands as a testament to the faith and dedication of those who came before us. While we honor our past, we remain committed to meeting the evolving needs of our community, adapting our ministry to serve new generations while staying true to our core values of compassion, inclusion, and service.
We strive to embody Christ's love in all we do, treating every person with dignity, respect, and compassion. Our church is a safe haven where all are welcomed and valued.
We gather weekly to worship God, study scripture, share in communion, and support one another on our spiritual journeys through prayer, music, and fellowship.
We are called to serve others and work for justice. Through our outreach programs and community partnerships, we seek to make a tangible difference in people's lives.
As a congregation of the United Church of Canada, we are part of Canada's largest Protestant denomination, formed in 1925 through the union of Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational churches. The United Church is known for its progressive theology, commitment to social justice, and inclusive stance on matters of faith and practice.
This connection enriches our ministry by linking us to a wider faith community across Canada and around the world. We benefit from shared resources, denominational support, and the collective wisdom of thousands of United Church congregations working together to live out the gospel in contemporary ways.
Our United Church identity means:
Our theological foundation and convictions
We believe in a loving God revealed in Jesus Christ, who calls us into relationship and community, offering grace and redemption to all people without exception.
We read the Bible as a sacred text that speaks to our lives today, interpreted through reason, experience, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
We believe faith must be lived out through loving service to others, working for justice, peace, and the healing of creation.
Led by dedicated volunteers and supported by caring members
Wolfe Island Pastoral Charge is blessed with a committed community of volunteers, leaders, and members who work together to maintain our ministry and serve our neighbors. Our pastoral care team provides comfort and support to those who are shut-in, hospitalized, or going through difficult times. Our worship leaders, musicians, Sunday School teachers, and outreach coordinators all contribute their time and talents to keep our church vibrant and mission-focused.
We are governed by a council of elected members who provide spiritual and practical leadership, ensuring our church remains faithful to its calling while adapting to the needs of our changing community.
