Welcome

Hillhurst United Church is a place that for 100 years has opened its doors to those looking for open-minded discussions on issues that matter to them.

We commit to be an inclusive community of faith that follows in the Way of Jesus under the banner:

Whoever you are, wherever you're at, join us on the journey.

We strive to accept each other as we are and welcome the ministry and participation of all persons regardless of age, gender identity, health, race, sexual orientation, differing abilities, religious or ethnic background or economic circumstance.   

We hope that in all that we do, including our worship and community life, God's unconditional love is experienced.

We do this trusting God is with us on the journey.

How to Find Us

We're located at  1227 Kensington Close, N.W, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  Here is a Google map showing how to find us.

Free parking is available on Sundays in the school parking lot across the street.

As a vibrant, inner-city church with limited parking space, we encourage using non-car modes of transport. Bike racks are located at the back of the church.  The Sunnyside LRT station is less than a kilometre away and the #1 bus route stops a block away on Kensington road. Walking, cycling and using transit are great ways to reduce climate pollution, keep fit and show hospitality to our visitors and in our community!



Take Note

Starting July 5th, through to August 30th, morning worship will begin at 10:00.  There will be no lunch during the Summer months.

Check out these pictures from our recent Sunday School Picnic!
