About Dundas Street Centre United Church

Dundas Street Centre United Church is a historic Christian place of worship located on Dundas Street in the Midtown area of London. The church serves as a welcoming hub for the community, offering a space for worship, social events, and diverse gatherings. It describes itself as a caring and inclusive community rooted in faith, community, and social justice, aiming to provide opportunities for study, service, friendship, and rejuvenation. The church offers Sunday worship services that blend traditional liturgy with active community participation. Its music ministry is a central feature, highlighting a 3,000-pipe Casavant Organ installed in 1929 and a choir that performs both traditional hymns and contemporary pieces. The sanctuary also hosts community concerts for local ensembles, such as the London Community Orchestra. For those seeking community involvement, the church provides outreach and support programs including the Out of the Cold Bag Lunch teams, the Good Samaritan Cupboard, and the Knit Happens group. Established in 1895, the church is housed in a Romanesque Revival building that serves as a local landmark. The organization is led by Minister Rev. Wendy Noble, with Norm Abbott serving as Music Director. Church activities are managed by a Unified Board, currently chaired by Howard Rundle, which oversees six standing committees including Spirituality, Ministry & Personnel, Outreach & Social Justice, Stewardship, Property, and Trustees. The church also maintains subcommittees for Rental, Accessibility, and Choral Scholarship Administration. Visitors can attend Sunday worship services at 11:00 AM in the sanctuary, with entry provided through a ramp door. The church offers the option to attend services via Zoom by contacting the office.
