Our Denomination
Community of Christ is a faith tradition rooted in self-improvement. Small but determined, ours is a story of volunteerism, change, persistence, and a collective yes to a divine call to become a prophetic people. With 250,000 members, in 1,100 congregations, in more than 60 countries around the world today, Community of Christ is fostering a culture of celebrated diversity, healing discernment, democratic processes, empowering inclusiveness, and faithful disagreement.
Experiences in Community of Christ can be varied depending on where you find yourself in Canada. Styles of worship, programming, and theological views are influenced by the culture of the local areas, resulting in rich, unique experiences each and every time. Opportunities to connect abound with Sunday morning worship services located throughout Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. There is also year-round camping and retreat programs at our six campgrounds, and regular, interactive virtual ministries streamed via the Internet. Each of these connection opportunities provide support, spiritual growth, comfort, and retreat for members and friends alike.
The Community of Christ teaches that the "one eternal living God is triune". It acknowledges God, who is a "community of three persons", as the Creator and the Source of love, life, and truth. It states that "this God alone is worthy of worship." Jesus Christ is described as both Savior and as "a living expression of God" and is acknowledged as having lived, died, and been resurrected. As the name of the denomination implies, Jesus Christ is central to its members' study and worship. The Community of Christ's Theology Task Force states that "Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh, both fully human and fully divine." The Holy Spirit is described as the "continuing presence of God in the world" and as the source of divine inspiration.
