Who we are
St. Mary’s Pastoral Charge is a rural, three-point charge of The United Church of Canada. Our congregations are in Pictou and Guysborough counties in northeastern Nova Scotia, and include Bethany in East River St. Mary’s, Kirk Memorial in Glenelg, and St. John’s in Sherbrooke. We are a Christ-centered community that offers regular Sunday and special worship services, Bible study, youth group, Sunday school, choir, hymn sings, and many other opportunities for fellowship––frequently involving food! We support interdenominational faith sharing throughout the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s. As a congregation, we actively seek to foster peace and justice for all of God’s creation through local, community-based outreach initiatives and by supporting the national and global work of The United Church of Canada’s Mission & Service Fund.
We welcome everyone!
Our Mission Statement
To express the Good News of the Gospel as a faith community, desiring to follow Christ and proclaim him to the world!
Our Vision Statement
We will carry out our mission by seeking to be a welcoming community of faith, a place where all people can experience friendship, spiritual growth, fulfillment, and faith in Jesus Christ through worship, study, fellowship, service to the community, and mission to the world at large.
