Welcome!

Through our website we want to provide you with an introduction to the faith community of Deer Park United Church.   If you are searching for a "church home", we invite you to consider Deer Park.  Our worship service is celebrated at 10:00 am each Sunday morning.

Deer Park is an inclusive, open and progressive community of faith within the liberal Christian tradition, with its roots in the social gospel. We take the Bible seriously, but not literally, recognizing that parts of the tradition came out of specific historical circumstances and need re-interpretation for our time. We believe that a questioning theology is a healthy part of one’s spiritual journey. We believe we are called to live God's vision of wholeness for all by: loving and serving others; respecting all creation; celebrating life; embracing diversity such as sexual orientation, gender, age, race, religion, occupation, or socio-economic status; challenging injustices to create a safe sanctuary for all people to be themselves. With that understanding of who we are, we "seek wholeness through the Spirit" for ourselves, others, the larger community and the world.

We invite you to be part of who we are today, joining this church family on a wonderful spiritual journey, as we grow in our understanding of what it means to be a church in the 21st century.
