Who we are

At the Highland Hills Pastoral Charge, we are a group of caring people who are committed to our church, our congregation and our community.

We are a friendly, compassionate and spiritual group who love music, laughter and stimulating, challenging worship.

We’d love to meet you in person…

Please feel free to join us any Sunday morning for worship.

Our Worship style and format is relatively traditional.

We are informal in our dress. We welcome all people.

Our Theology is as mixed as the people who worship with us but generally, Reverend Max Ward has a liberal view point.

Our worship is relevant and inspiring.

We are followers of Jesus, compassionate about our community and world conscious.

We enjoy three comfortable & modern sanctuaries. Recently, we have even updated to use more communications technology during worship and during the week in the office.

Highland Hills United Church History

Formerly known as Minden United Church until September 2018. In 1865 the first Church was built in Minden. It is of interest to note that the Anglicans used the Methodist Church for weddings and for worship and that the union with the Presbyterian Church came about many years before the nation-wide union in 1925. In 1925, church membership was 102, Sunday School enrollment was 37, and membership in mid-week youth groups was 25.

The dedication of the current United Church in Minden was held on January 17, 1926. A half hour before the time of service, the bell (donated by Magistrate and Mrs. G.A. Jordan) was rung for the first time by Mr. Robert Taylor, a Presbyterian and Mr. G.A. Rogers, a Methodist. Many gifts were received that day, the pulpit, chair and communion table were donated in memory of Thomas and Victoria Stinson. The ladies donated pews, carpet, and chairs for the basement. The C.G.I.T. a pulpit Bible and light. The Sunday School, the cornerstone and a light.

In 1932, the Minden Charge was combined with the Carnarvon Pastoral Charge to form the Minden-Carnarvon Pastoral Charge. In September 1936, a special service was conducted by Rev. Clayton when the church mortgage was burned. The congregation increased numerically as well as spiritually, and in the ministry of Rev. J. MacLean Fleming, the congregation became self-supporting.

In 1958 under Rev. Hugh MacDonald, it was decided to build a $50,000 addition, which would nearly double the size of the building. The dedication of this addition was held on Sunday, May 24, 1959, and it was with great joy the congregation held a service to burn this mortgage on May 24, 1963. In 1959 church membership was 207, Sunday School enrollment of 154, and membership in mid-week youth groups was 125.

Memorials and Gifts to Minden United Church since 1985 – 1985 – Choir Pew donated by Dick and Laura Kirkwood – 1986 – Our beautiful Stained Glass Window given by Norma Snell Barron in loving memory of her parents, sister and husband – Memorial Plaque donated in memory of Evelyn Austin by her family – 1992 – Side lights in sanctuary donated by the Windover family – 1992 – Front Door presented by Evelyn and Loyne Cox in memory of their parents – 2004 – A New Pulpit donated by Mal and Joy Bain dedicated to the memory of their parents.

In the last few years, several major changes have taken place at Minden United Church. Externally a handicapped ramp was built at the front of the church, an overhang was installed over the main door and all of the exposed woodwork is now covered with aluminum. Internal upgrades include a new furnace, emergency lighting, and the church office has up-to-date furniture and equipment. New carpeting has been installed in the sanctuary and the choir loft has been renovated so that the pulpit, piano, and organ are all on one level surface, accessible by new steps constructed across the width of the loft. The labour for this recent renovation was provided by a few men of the congregation led by Fred Pratt. Our kitchen has a new exhaust fan system courtesy of our United Church Women.

We pray that we may be worthy of the heritage that is ours and that we may hand on to the coming generations a firm foundation of Christian love and faith upon which they may build the Church of their day.
