 Waterloo Presbytery in Ontario, Canada is one of 99 district courts of the United Church of Canada. It oversees an active community of 60 churches in Cambridge, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo and the North and West.   We are fortunate to have a blend of both rural and urban charges, from part-time to multiple-staff ministries. All of our churches are unique, but some offer visionary partnerships. Consider Westminister United sharing facilities with the Temple Shalom synagogue, or St. Luke's United which fostered and is surrounded by a thriving seniors' complex. Our theological stance is as varied as our facilities: from conservative to liberal, from covenanting to affirming. Despite, and maybe because of this diversity, we unite in our focus on Christ's love for us and for the work to be done.

Waterloo Presbytery as a court of the United Church of Canada most closely supports congregations in our area. In the wider circle is Hamilton Conference to whom the six Presbyteries of Erie, Bruce, Halton, Niagara, Hamilton and  Waterloo are responsible. Dedicated lay volunteers, elected by our congregations, along with ministry personnel who are automatically members of Presbytery, do the work of our Presbytery. All members of Presbytery must be members of the United Church of Canada.
