WHO WE ARE
We are a Christian community located in West Quebec. Most of our members live in Chelsea, Rupert, Wakefield, Cantley and Gatineau. Some of us grew up in church, while some of us are new to Christian faith. We are busy toddlers, elderly people, and in between. Our first languages are English, French and other languages. What we have in common is that our lives are being shaped by Jesus Christ.
HISTORY
Grace United Church began as a partnership between five congregations of the United Church of Canada: St. Andrew’s Cantley, Chelsea United Church, St. Andrew’s Gatineau, Rupert United Church, and St. Andrew’s in Wakefield, Quebec. These congregations decided to become one church, a process that involved joy, tears, hard work and faith. Grace officially become one church in November 2016. Many of the original buildings have been sold so that we could focus on community rather than building maintenance.
Some of our members joined Grace United Church from one of the founding churches, while others have joined since 2016.
