a church for everyone
Wellington Square is an inclusive community in the heart of Burlington. We are people of different ages, perspectives, orientations, neurologies, and stories, learning to connect with God, each other, and ourselves; exploring the way of Jesus; and helping to transform the world into one where everyone has enough and everyone has a place.
becoming an authentic & brave community of Jesus followers, inviting God to transform us and our world through Love.
our vision:
our mission:
seeking the way of Jesus together
spirituality: exploring faith, meaning, and our connection with God
community: being ourselves, supporting each other, and making room for all
justice: serving our neighbours and helping build a better world.
what matters here:
what we believe
We believe in a God of extravagant and indiscriminate love and that Jesus shows us a new way to be human and alive in the world, a way rooted in love, peace, grace, justice, and kindness. Obviously there’s all kinds of other things too, but that’s what it boils down to: transforming ourselves and our world through love.
We do not expect everyone to arrive at the same conclusions. We make room for questions, doubt, mystery, conversation, learning, and growth.
everyone belongs here
At Wellington Square, everyone belongs. We are not perfect, and we have not always loved well. We know the church has caused real harm to people and communities. We are committed to doing better—by learning, listening, growing, and putting love into action.
We welcome people of every ability and disability, economic status, race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexuality (2SLGBTQIA+), mental-health experience, age, marital status, neurotype, and theological perspective. We are intentionally building a safer, more inclusive place for people to encounter God and each other.
Accessibility matters here. Our building has accessible and gender-neutral washrooms, room in the pews for mobility aids, and hearing aids available for Sunday services.
we are grateful to gather in the heart of Burlington on the traditional land of the Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee, the Métis, & the Mississaugas of the Credit
