Public: Out and proud, with inclusive signs, symbols, and language visible inside and outside the church.

Intentional: Deliberate in their process of study, education, and open dialogue within the faith community.

Explicit: Clearly welcomes queer, trans, and Two-Spirit people and their gifts, and is a sanctuary against racism, homophobia, and transphobia.


On October 26, 2025, our community of Faith held a vote to become a fully Affirming church to join Affirm United. It is with happy hearts that we get to announce that this motion was passed with an overwhelming majority of 95% approval.


This affirms what we have known all along, that God loves all His children equally. He did not put us here on this Earth to judge one another nor live with any form of hatred or prejudice in our hearts. There is room in Gods kingdom for everyone. We believe in the teachings of Jesus who taught us to LOVE. Love thy neighbour. Love unconditionally. Love all. Jesus welcomed everyone to eat at His table. No exceptions!


On March 16th, our Affirming Team convened for their inaugural meeting to kickstart this journey. We eagerly anticipate the transformative impact this journey will have on the future of Faith. You're invited to join us on this path by attending our Sunday morning worship services at 11:00 a.m. in the Faith United Sanctuary - everyone is welcome.


To celebrate our first Pride month in 2024 as an aspiring Affirming congregation, our Affirming Team was presented with a Pride flag by our Visioning Team. This gesture symbolized the Visioning Team's support and commitment to the efforts of our Affirming Team. We also provided Pride pins to our community of faith to wear with their name tags.


In August 2024, we participated in Pride Hamilton sharing a booth with other affirming churches in the surrounding area. Pride Hamilton is more than a party — it’s a space where people can be seen, celebrated, and safe being exactly who they are. It reminds us that inclusion, visibility, and love still matter deeply.

On March 14, 2025, we celebrated our first P.I.E Day (National Affirming Day). Our Affirming Team hosted a successful karaoke social with lots of fun had and even more pie to eat! PIE Day — standing for Public, Intentional, and Explicit — is a chance for communities of faith to show clear support for 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion. It’s not just about saying "everyone is welcome" — it’s about living it out loud, in ways that are visible, committed, and authentic.
