Leader Bio:
I was very excited when I learned that I was coming to minister at Grace United Church. And that excitement has continued through my subsequent time here in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Imagine a church where every Sunday one can expect a choir of eighteen members. No one is surprised when I step away from the pulpit and just have to join them in a choral anthem!
Coming from Bloomfield United in Prince Edward County, an agrarian area which enjoys a tourist-based element and the arrival of Toronto retirees, I fully appreciated many of our town's issues, and the needs and stresses faced by residents and congregations in the region.
I believe that we are all called to ministry in some way as we share our time and talents. Grace United is an active congregation and I am pleased to be part of it. The Festival Market, the Christmas Market, and a number of Community Lunches and Dinners bring the congregation together with each other and the community. And they have helped me to get to know everyone better - as they get to know each other better!
All churches reflect our aging population and Grace United is no exception. However, as they say, 'sixty is the new fifty', and we have an amazing group for which I am very happy to be able to provide ministerial support and care. I love leading worship and my sermons are biblically based but relate to our current time and context.
And as new residents come to Niagara-on-the-Lake, a number of them continue their church affiliation with our Church here at Grace United. You will be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home when you walk through the doors. As I said initially, this is a very exciting place to be!

Grace United Church History
Grace United is a historic church located within the heritage district of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. In 1823, the Niagara Methodist Meeting House was built on Gate Street adjoining the Methodist Cemetery.
The current building, designed by William Thomas, was constructed in 1852 for the Presbyterian Church. By 1874, the Presbyterian congregation had left the church and the local Methodist congregation purchased the structure at auction. To accommodate the growing congregation, a Sunday school room was added in 1897.
In 1925, the United Church of Canada was created. This new organization brought together Congregational, Presbyterian and Methodist churches. The Niagara-on-the-Lake congregation became Grace United Church. In 1965, Virgil United Church closed its doors and its members joined the congregation at Grace.
Booklets about the history of Grace United Church and cemetery records can be accessed by calling the church office at 905-468-4044.
