Partners in Mission

The United Church of Canada has formal relationships—"partnerships”—with national churches, ecumenical organizations, Christian councils, and church agencies around the world. They connect with and support a much wider range of church and community organizations. We are one partner among many, called to receive and to give. We journey together in humility toward relationships that are just, honest, respectful, and life-giving.

The United Church has partners in the following regions of the world:

• Ecumenical Global Partners
• Africa and the Middle East
• Asia and the Pacific
• Caribbean and Latin America
• Canada

Partnership Principles

The United Church and its global partners are called to work together in God's mission for wholeness of life. Partnerships grow from our history and experience of collaboration within ecumenical, global, and social movements. What we have learned through our common effort is expressed in partnership principles.

Government Funding for Global Partner Work

Three Canadian government sources provide valuable co-funding support for the development work of United Church of Canada global partners.
