Sydenham Street United Church,
constructed in 1852,
is a downtown church
and city landmark

Sydenham Street United Church is an inviting haven in a hurried world. We are a landmark in historic downtown Kingston, part of The United Church of Canada. We are an Affirming congregation, celebrating more than 200 years of faith since our founding as a Methodist congregation in 1811.

Our historic building welcomes you, as it has welcomed generations of worshippers and musicians: we are among the finest concert halls in the area, a favoured venue for concerts and events.

Our activities are organized into three communities of interest within our congregation. Engaging the Spirit is aimed at deepening our spiritual relatedness. "Art & Soul" provides music and artistic activities to utilize the soul-enhancing power of art. People in our "Social Justice and Outreach" circle of interest promote fair treatment for all in our community and beyond.
