Port Perry and Prince Albert United Churches comprise a two-point pastoral charge of The United Church of Canada. We are a part of Lakeridge Presbytery of the Bay of Quinte Conference. Port Perry United Church can have over 200 worshippers in attendance on a Sunday morning (9:50 a.m.) Prince Albert United Church appreciates the “small is beautiful” philosophy and welcomes 20 to 30 worshippers on a Sunday morning (11:30 a.m.) The two congregations share a ministry team and an administrator.

Our roots are in the Methodist tradition, and both congregations have been a part of The United Church of Canada since its inception in 1925. We celebrate among us a variety of people of all ages, backgrounds, faith perspectives, and income levels. We are followers of Jesus who prefer questions to answers, and we want to help to create and to model a different kind of world. We do our best to engage worshippers’ minds and spirits. Reaching out to our community is important to us.

Worshippers will find Port Perry’s service a little more formal than Prince Albert’s. Both churches offer excellent programming for children during worship.
Music plays an important part in the faith life of both congregations. Both churches have accomplished choirs.

The Creed of The United Church of Canada

We are not alone,
we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit.
We are called to be the Church:
to celebrate God’s presence,
to live with respect in Creation,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God.

Elaine Hall & Don Willmer

Ministers

905-985-2801

Don and Elaine bring over 20 years of experience in team ministry and have been serving the Port Perry and Prince Albert United Churches since Fall 2011. Both grew up in East York, in the east end of Toronto. They were married in 1992. Ordained in 1994, for the next 7 years they served together in a five-point charge in Cape Breton; this stirred in them a love of rural and small-town life. They then moved to Perth, in eastern Ontario, and spent 10 happy years working half-time each at a two-point charge in Lanark County and raising their young family.

Don practised law many moons ago, and enjoys the varied experiences that ministry offers. Don's passions are music and theatre. He appreciates building relationships among all age groups and bringing our best to God. Above all he enjoys making a joyful noise, be it at home or while leading worship.

Elaine's passions are storytelling and finding God at work in both the big picture and the small details of our lives. Elaine values journeying with people at all ages and stages of their living. She looks for and encourages the Christ light in all whom she meets.

Don and Elaine have 3 children, and live in Port Perry.
