Social Justice
SSUC has always been committed to providing leadership in deepening awareness and engaging in meaningful action that responds to social justice issues locally, nationally and globally.
We aim to raise the consciousness of the community by encouraging study and discussion of important issues, problems and needs, followed by recommending ways that we might respond appropriately through action, advocacy and/or service.
Outreach Opportunities
SSUC is involved in supporting initiatives that support our larger community.
From supporting the Edmonton’s Food Bank, Bissell Centre campaigns, and organizing our own Refugee support actions, we go out and beyond our community.
Reconciliation
SSUC is committed to honouring the long history of the Indigenous peoples of this land reaching beyond colonization and decolonizing the ways we behave in and care for the spaces we take up.
Based out of Edmonton, ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ amiskwacîwâskahikan (click here for a pronunciation), with connections across the prairies, we seek to celebrate the significance of the diverse traditions and history of this land for the Indigenous peoples who lived and continue to live upon the territory we now call home.
Affirming
On January 31, 1999, our congregation embraced a new identity as an affirming congregation within the United Church of Canada! In doing so, we committed ourselves to be a community of authentic welcome, acceptance and safety for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and heterosexual persons. We continue to celebrate the ways that our church community is enriched by the diversity and unique gifts each person brings who joins our journey and shares in our life and work.
