Who we are
What We Believe
“God is Holy Mystery, beyond complete knowledge, above perfect description…. Nothing exists that does not find its source in God.” (A Song of Faith)
Faith and the Bible
The Bible is the shared standard for our faith, but members are not required to adhere to any particular creed or formulation of doctrine.
Baptism and Communion
The United Church celebrates two sacraments—baptism and communion—by which we encounter the presence and goodness of God.
Marriage
Each person is a unique, loved creation of God; we welcome all people to the full life of Christian community, including marriage.
Relationship and Inclusion
Respectful of the religious practice of all people of goodwill, we are a welcoming church that is challenged to ongoing renewal.
Social Justice
Following the example of Jesus, we believe that we strengthen one another to work, through God's grace, for a better world.
Giving, Generosity, and Gratitude
God’s endless generosity to us encourages our own response to contribute in many ways to God’s mission in God’s world.
United Church faith communities welcome people from all backgrounds and orientations—wherever you are in your faith journey. This section offers an overview of the United Church’s beliefs.
OPEN ARMS, OPEN HEARTS, OPEN SPIRIT
We would like to invite you to join us...we don't know everything or have all the answers. We are a group of people who come together to explore and know God better.
COME AS YOU ARE!
Join us in the air conditioned Primary Room on Sunday mornings at 10:00 am for worship. Come a few minutes early and grab a cup of coffee to enjoy during the service. Wherever you are on your journey, we hope you will join us as we gather together to worship and grow in our faith. Stay after worship during the summer for refreshments and social time. Everyone is welcome!
Nursery care and Sunday School are available September through June.

Rev. Laurie O'Leary, our minister, grew up in Bothwell, Ontario, graduated from Fanshawe College with a Legal Office Administration diploma, and worked as a Legal Assistant for over 30 years. She became a member of the United Church of Canada in 1999, at Wesley-Knox United Church, London. Before entering ministry Rev. Laurie was a Licensed Lay Worship Leader, a graduate of the Middlesex Presbytery Lay School of Theology. After discernment for ministry, she began studies at the Atlantic School of Theology, Halifax, Nova Scotia through the summer distance education program. She graduated with her Master of Divinity and was ordained in May, 2013. She has served the Southwold Pastoral Charge (Bethany United Church and Frome United Church) and the Mount Brydges Pastoral Charge (Cook's United Church and Mount Brydges United Church). She is also involved in committee work in Huron-Perth Presbytery and London Conference. Rev. Laurie's ministry with Exeter United Church began February 1, 2016. She is passionate about ministry that allows her the opportunity to engage with a variety of people and ages. Creating liturgy that is meaningful, engaging, and inclusive sparks her imagination! Rev.

She is excited to be a small part of our motivating vision - Open Arms, Open Hearts, Open Spirit.
