Hear. Listen. Learn. Do.
Over 225 Years Young – History of St. George’s
“Lift up your hands in the Holy place and bless the Lord.” (Psalm 134)
In 2017, we celebrated our 225thAnniversary. Founded in 1792, St. George’s was the first established church of St. Catharines, making it the oldest faith community in the city of St. Catharines. Generations have found strength and peace here through prayer, fellowship and service. On any given day, you will see this building open and serving breakfast to the hungry, providing shelter to the homeless, and offering a place of prayer and faith for people of all ages and stages.
To see how we celebrated, see our Anniversary Brochure
In the example of Jesus we discover that everyone has something to offer and everyone has something to receive. To find where your gifts connect with our ministries, or where our ministries connect with your searching, find out more about our community of faith, St. George’s.
Jesus
In Jesus we see who God is and what God cares about. We follow Jesus in order to draw closer to God and to better serve the world.
The Bible
We explore how these ancient stories become alive and meaningful, and a source of God’s guidance, to us here today.
The Anglican Church
The Anglican Communion is worldwide. It is known as “the middle way” – tracing its roots back to the earliest followers of Jesus and the ancient church, but with a modern-day charism of an “Open Mind” to the new thing God is doing in us and in our world.
Worship
We offer different styles of worship throughout the week, from the very modern café setting of our Wednesday nights, to the quiet contemplation of Sundays at 8am and the beautiful family service with choral music and pipe organ at 10am.
Music
Music has always been a way for people to connect more deeply with God. Music lifts our spirits and brings us into communion with one another. We offer music programs for people of all ages. Our worship services offer a wide variety of musical expressions, allowing us to pray more fully!
Serving
Our goal as Christians is to “seek and serve Christ in all persons.” We are engaged in meaningful service with those most vulnerable in our community and in our world. Find your life changed by learning to live for the sake of others.
Hall Rentals
St. George’s has space available for rent that accommodates a variety of activities; large, small, occurring once or on a regular basis.
