Every three years, something remarkable happens in the life of The United Church of Canada.  People gather to listen, learn, worship, and make decisions that will shape the future of the church.  It’s called General Council, and it’s more than a meeting.  It’s a moment of deep connection.

At the culmination of the 45th General Council in 2025, young adults, elders, ministers, lay leaders, and global partners will come together, some in person and others online, to imagine what’s next for our church.  They’ll share stories from small rural congregations and vibrant urban ministries.  They’ll worship in many languages.  They’ll discuss bold questions about justice, faith, and the future.  And at the heart of it all is a shared commitment to living out God’s mission in the world.

The theme of this year's General Council is ‘Visions and Dreams’.  A robust website has been developed to offer information about how we are having that conversation across the denomination.  You will find the website and youtube links below:
