Rockwood United Church and Stone United Church are proud members of the United Church of Canada, focussing on a tradition of community and reaching out to others.
The United Church of Canada came together in 1925, through a union of a variety of denominations including Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational- one of first unions in the world to bring together major Christian denominations into one body.
"We are not alone", is the first line of 'A New Creed', one of our statements of belief. The United Church of Canada has a continuing history of welcoming people of all backgrounds and orientations, wherever you are on your faith journey.

Rockwood and Stone United Churches Affirming Vision Statement
"At Rockwood and Stone United Churches, we are communities of faith that are grounded in God, inspired by Jesus and guided by the Holy Spirit.
We strive to be a safe and inclusive space for all people especially those oppressed, excluded and marginalized by age, ability, dietary needs, mental health, economic status, lanjuage, racial and cultual backgrounds, marital status and family configurations, gender expression and sexual orientation. We are committed to creating a space where the unique gifts and skills of each person are valued, lifted up and shared in the service of God, our communities and the world. Recognizing our imperfections as a people of faith, we continue to seek God's forgiveness and commit to learning and growing together."
