St. Paul's United Church [Perth]

The beautiful old stone building, surrounded by more contemporary structures fronted with brick and glass, is perhaps symbolic of the nature of St. Paul's. The central building is for worship, and the life of this Congregation centres in the worship of God week by week. Surrounding this worship are a wide range of activities happening in the wings of the building and designed to promote the Christian lives of people. Worship in St. Paul’s has a solid traditional structure in keeping with the old stone sanctuary, yet it can also be innovative; its language is contemporary, its preaching is concerned with the practical issues people must live with today, and music plays an important role in the worship life of this congregation.

About the Neighbourhood

St. Paul's is located in Perth Ontario, a town that has won awards and acclaim for the stewardship of its heritage and old stone buildings. Located within the beautiful Rideau Lakes system, Perth is still less than an hour from Ottawa and Kingston. The community has a wonderfully diverse set of businesses from heavy industrial to small retail. Declared the "Prettiest Town in Ontario" by TV Ontario, Perth has a thriving artistic community, theatre, modern schools and infrastructure, an indoor pool, and many celebrated festivals. During the spring, it is evident that Perth is right in the heart of maple syrup country and in the summer, in the heart of cottage country. And, finally, the people are what make the community and our church family truly something special.
