People & Programs

Our aim is to build community, both inside and outside the walls of the church. We are a large, visible church in downtown Peterborough, with a fabulous pipe organ, so you may know us as the venue for the Peterborough Singers. We work with other churches locally to feed the homeless, support the Food Bank, promote the gleaning program in partnership with area farmers, supply toiletry kits to hospital patients and shelters and more. We rent our spaces to many community groups, and encourage a range of interesting activities that support community-building.

As a member of the United Church of Canada, we enthusiastically support the national Mission and Service program, always exceeding our goals. Globally, we participate in specific chosen missions, sending volunteers, money and goods to support such causes as the Friends of Honduras.

 

Quotes

"The diversity of people in our congregation is a joyful and exciting thing. I have felt a great gratitude to George Street; we put our faith into action by caring about the community just outside our doors. Best Buddies (Trent University Chapter) hooks students up with people with intellectual disabilities. They hosted a formal this year; the sparkling smiles said it all."
