Who we are
We are located in the heart of Weston. Once the largest town in what became Metropolitan Toronto, Weston was overtaken by sprawl in the 1950's. We are a mix of urban, suburban and small town. We have been on the same street corner since 1821.
Recognition of the Territorial Land
Our location on the historic Carrying Place Trail (Weston Road) reminds us that we meet on the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Petun, Seneca and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. We hope this ancient path will be a symbol of our desire to walk with Indigenous peoples in a spirit of reconciliation and respect.

Central United Church History
Central United Church is a historic congregation of The United Church of Canada. Central is located in the community of Weston, part of the City of Toronto, Ontario. The church has been on the same site on Weston Road since 1821. The congregation began as part of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a forerunner of the Methodist Church in Canada, (1884) and The United Church of Canada (1925).
The first church building, a log structure, was erected in 1821, followed by a larger brick church built in 1849. The present building, dedicated in 1887, and built in the Gothic revival style, has been altered and updated on several occasions. It retains the landmark tower, easily seen and recognized. The tower includes examples of abatsons - an architectural device consisting of louvres used to reflect sound - the results of which can be heard through excellent acoustics. The church was one of the final projects of the famous architect, William Henry Mallory Sr.
The congregation has a rich musical heritage. The organ is a Casavant and was dedicated in 1950 as a memorial to the members of the congregation who gave their lives in the Second World War. The Chancellors, a youth choir, active from 1968-1980, produced five record albums and toured extensively across Canada and Europe.
The congregation has been faithfully served by dedicated ministers and volunteers. Today, Central is known for its outreach into the Weston neighbourhood and community. Through the Weston King Neighbourhood Centre (WKNC), the Weston Area Emergency Support (WAES) Food Bank, and its commitment to Indigenous Reconciliation, and Social Justice work around the world through the Mission and Service Fund, Central continues to be a community where the good news of the gospel is lived each day.

The way, the truth, and the life
Lord Jesus, thou who art the way, the truth, and the life; hear us as we pray for the truth that shall make all free. Teach us that liberty is not only to be loved but also to be lived. Liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in books. It costs too much to be hoarded. Help us see that our liberty is not the right to do as we please, but the opportunity to please to do what is right.
