Most Important Goals

Council and the various Circles have worked to develop the following goals for the next 2 years to give focus to the building of our new faith community and establish it visibly in the local Ottawa West, and wider Ottawa community. 

Kitchissippi United Church is committed to all facets of Church life and Christian faith. The Church's congregation shall weave the traditions of the three founding churches in a new fabric that emphasizes Worship, Christian Teaching, Faith Formation, Pastoral Care and Outreach.
