An open, inclusive, and progressive faith community of The United Church of Canada. We warmly welcome you!
Duncan is located in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on British Columbia’s Vancouver Island. Midway between Victoria and Nanaimo, the Cowichan Valley is the heart of the “Warm Land”.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of forests, mountains, lakes, rivers, and offshore islands, our church home is
located
in downtown
Duncan
and serves the
Cowichan Valley,
including North Cowichan, Maple Bay, Cowichan Bay, Cobble Hill, and Crofton.
A part of Victoria Presbytery within British Columbia Conference, Duncan United Church is a vibrant, supportive, and active community of approximately 350 families.
We commit to be a community of faith that follows in the Way of Jesus.
We strive to embrace diversity in our congregation and community and to affirm the dignity and worth of every person. We believe that extending generous hospitality to all is compatible with Christ"s message of unconditional love.
We acknowledge that for thousands of years, Indigenous people have lived on the land upon which we worship and thankfully acknowledge the Hul"qumi"num People and their stewardship of this land throughout the ages.
Enjoy browsing these pages - we know you’ll feel some of the energy, the love, the laughter, and the faith that God calls us to share. Whether you are visiting our community or looking for a church home, we invite you to join with our inclusive and nurturing “family of faith” - please know that you will always receive a sincere welcome!
Peace be with you....
