Our Heart
A heart for God… in the heart of the village
We are a friendly neighbourhood church located in the heart of historic Ladner Village in the City of Delta. Our motto is “A Heart for God in the Heart of the Village” and we take this seriously! We desire to be a place where all are welcome to ask questions, to wonder about faith, and just to be who you are no matter where you’re at.
We encourage you to look through our website and social media, give us a call, or come and see if Ladner United feels right for you. We hope you will feel God’s grace and love in Jesus wherever you are on your journey of faith. We’d love to meet you!
Ladner United is part of the United Church of Canada and is attended by people of diverse beliefs and religious backgrounds, from people who grew up in various Christian denominations, to those without any former church experiences. In addition to the many smaller groups that meet throughout the week for a variety of activities, we gather weekly on Sundays for prayer, celebration, singing, learning and to experience the care and belonging of God’s love in community. We are inclusive and welcoming, embracing a progressive approach to faith. The statements of faith for the United Church of Canada can be found here.
We are an egalitarian and LGBTQIA2S+ welcoming place of worship. We believe in full inclusion of believers regardless of age, race, gender, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, economic status or any other factor that others may use to divide.
