Welcome!
Cedar Park United is a theologically open and questioning congregation that warmly
invites all visitors to join us in faith, family and community. The church
community began in 1893 as a summer pastorate under the leadership of
Otto Lilly. With the influx of permanent residents
into the community, a year-round pastorate was founded in 1899 as the
Pointe Claire Presbyterian Mission. An enlarging population by 1922 resulted
in the construction of Lilly Memorial Presbyterian Church, and in 1925
Lilly Memorial became part of the United
Church of Canada. In order to accommodate increased postwar numbers,
the present building was constructed in 1954-55 and was renamed Cedar
Park United Church. The congregation celebrated its centennial in 1999.
As a long established church Cedar Park draws its members and adherents
from a wide area. The congregation has 266 households under its pastoral
care with membership at 273. The average Sunday attendance is approximately
100. There is a Sunday School of about 25 children ages 3 to 12. During
the last 60 years, Cedar Park United has had only four ministers, each
staying 10 years or more. Our minister is the Rev.
Sharon Moon.
Cedar
Park United provides a range of church services to the wider community
such as wedding services, baptismal services, hall rental services and
religious education services. Kindly contact
the church office for more details.
Cedar Park
United also offers the community a series of used clothing, book and bakes
sales during the year. Check our calendar for
dates of up-coming events.
The core
of Cedar Park United is the wide range of church community services through
the Outreach program as well as the church's many groups and committees.
We invite you to explore our web site and learn more about the church
that has more than a century of faith, family and community service.
