Spiritual and Social Groups

Provided by First United Church Community Ministry Society

Social groups that discuss spirituality and hope.
Ministry staff offer faith-based (multi-faith) guidance to those who seek it and are trained to provide trauma-informed and culturally-safe spiritual care informed by social justice, particularly for Indigenous community members.
  • Pastoral or Spiritual Care: Offered by appointment, trained ministers listen and guide individuals or families from a spiritual lens, offering spiritual support, a listening ear, respect, and sometimes ceremony or ritual.
  • Partnership Circles: Partnered with local United Church congregations to teach and train around issues of importance and note in the Downtown Eastside and in communities across Canada. Topics include decolonization, truth and reconciliation, cultural safety, drug policy, housing and homelessness, power and oppression and more.
