General Council Office Structure

Ethnic Ministries focuses on education, profiles ethno-cultural issues, and advocates for racial justice to nurture a better place of belonging for ethnic minority peoples and congregations in The United Church of Canada.

About Ethnic Ministries

Ethnic Ministries works with racial/ethnic minority congregations individuals; the unit also offers leadership with Aboriginal and francophone peoples toward becoming an intercultural church.

History and Development of Ethnic Ministries

Over the past century, the activities of racial/ethnic minority peoples, immigration, and changes in United Church structures and policies gave rise to the national unit and related networks.

Racial Justice and Ethnic Ministries

Proactive anti-racism education and training is an integral ministry focus of Ethnic Ministries, and the unit promotes ongoing anti-racism advocacy in its ministries.

"Welcome" Collage and Logo

The unit has created a collage that says “welcome” in many different languages, and has also designed an artistic image—a logo—that weaves together who Ethnic Ministries is, and what they believe.
