Our Vision

Mission Statement

  • On December 7th, 2025 after a process of discernment for nearly two years, Highland Hills United Church has accepted this Mission Statement.

    Highland Hills is an inclusive and supportive community of faith that follows the ways and teachings of Jesus Christ. 

    We offer worship, education, pastoral care and outreach for all.

    With a belief in God, we strive to include people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, differing abilities, colour, ethnicity, cultural identity, and economic circumstances, participating in all aspects in the life of the church.

    As a community of faith, we publicly declare a commitment to social justice initiatives, care for the earth, and equity for everyone. 

    We will be intentional and explicit in welcoming and providing a safe space for all.

    Also, we continue to be inspired by the historical Mission Statements of our sister churches that were written before the amalgamation process and the disbanding of Maple Lake United Church.

  • With the help of the Holy Spirit, we, the congregation of Minden United Church provide:

    • an opportunity for all to discover, explore, develop and share one’s faith within our Christian spiritual community;

    • pastoral care for the congregation, the extended family of God and the community;

    • by our givings, support to those in need through education and action, especially on issues of health, poverty, environment and social justice;

    • a place to celebrate and honour the life passages of all.

    Vision Statement for Minden United Church

    We affirm our commitment to encourage the growth of a diverse community where all persons are welcome regardless of age, gender, race, ethnic background, sexual orientation, differing abilities, gender identity, economic circumstances and family composition.

    We continue to build and strengthen our relationship with those who face injustice and discrimination. We invite all persons to take part in every aspect of our church, such as worship, membership, communion, leadership, spiritual growth, celebrations, and marriage.

    We celebrate the richness that diversity brings to our church life. Though there are challenges, God is with us on our journey to seek both love and justice in our partnerships with others in the church, and in our community.

  • To connect people to Christ and to each other.

  • Zion United is a caring and sharing church. We welcome all to join us in the worship of God, in fellowship and in support of those in need.
