Pre-Authorized Remittance
PAR or Pre-Authorized Remittance is a direct debit program that allows people to support their church through an automatic monthly withdrawal from their bank account. The United Church administers the program following the giver’s wishes (e.g. X amount for local church expenses, and X amount for the Mission and Service Fund, if you wish to contribute to both). Approximately on the 20th of each month, all PAR givings are debited from the giver’s account and the total is electronically transferred to the local church account. Thank you for supporting St. David’s PAR program. To enroll in the PAR program, please pick up a brochure at back of the church or contact:

Since 1953 the members of St. David’s United Church have had the pleasure of many incredible Students and Reverends. We thank each and every one for their time, commitment and community leadership.
St. David's Untied Church Events
St. David’s United Church is very welcoming and we invite those who are visiting the area; new arrivals to our communities; and local residents to join our congregation.
Our facility is wheelchair accessible and the church holds approximately 100.
We perform weddings, baptisms and funerals.
We have many special events during the year such as celebrating St. David’s Day, which explains the history of our namesake, the anniversary of the dedication of our church in October, monthly socials after church, Memorial Christmas Tree dedication, etc.
We are rooted in the worship tradition of the United Church of Canada. We strive to be a community in which we may be nurtured in faith as we explore the relevance of scripture for our life as Christians.
We have been called to serve God as a community seeking equality, diversity and inclusivity. Revelation and our call to service is made known to us through our interaction and daily living with one another in the world.
We are committed to a definitive role as leaders in our surrounding communities as well in our community of faith. Our goal is to share the Word of God to the communities in which we worship, live and work on behalf of the Lord.
Committed to a Christ-like love for the earth and all humanity, we strive for a stewardship that cares for and sustains all creation.
