Worship Services at MacKay United Church
Sundays at 10:30 AM
At MacKay United Church, we warmly invite you to join our Sunday worship services, held every week at 10:30 a.m. Our congregation is a vibrant tapestry of spiritual seekers, neighbors, wise elders, gracious hosts, doubters, activists, artists, contemplatives, and beginners. We offer a place for deep conversations, creative expression through music, poetry, and visual art, and spiritual practices like prayer, meditation, and movement. We welcome our neighbors to use our historic building for important moments in their lives. And we seek ways to serve and support those in need in our city.Together, we create a welcoming space where diverse perspectives are embraced, and everyone is encouraged to explore their faith journey.
A Fusion of Traditional, Contemporary and Jazz Music
Music is at the heart of our worship experience. We blend contemporary melodies with the soulful rhythms of jazz, crafting services that are both uplifting and reflective. This harmonious integration of musical styles enriches our collective worship, fostering a deeper connection to the divine and to one another.
Embracing Progressive Theology
Rooted in a liberal and progressive theology, our services honor Christian traditions while engaging thoughtfully with contemporary realities. We encourage open dialogue, critical thinking, and the exploration of diverse spiritual practices. Our aim is to cultivate an environment where imagination and faith intersect, allowing us to grow both individually and as a community.
