Runnymede United Church
A church for everyone in Toronto’s Bloor West Village & Swansea Neighbourhood
Welcoming
& Affirming
Runnymede United Church is an Affirming Congregation, recognized by Affirm United for the process of reflection and education that we undertook as a congregation and our overwhelmingly positive vote to live into this identity. We are committed to radical welcome and inclusion of all people without judgement or prejudice, to make this a place where all of God’s people belong. Our two-campus church is a safe space for 2SLGBTQ+ people.
Runnymede United Church Annual Giving Program is ON!
Our Annual Giving Program launches October 19th! Check our Stewardship webpage for details on how you can support this vibrant faith community and all the good things that happen here. Thank you!
