Hello, and welcome!

This page is dedicated to young people and young families in Red Deer that value an open, inclusive, and progressive way of being. Regardless of where you are in your spiritual life, our hope is that you feel welcome to join this community and journey with us. Our First Third Minister, Aleesha, is engaging with folks to determine what the greatest needs of young people are right now, what really matters to them, and what it means to be a church in our world today.
We are carefully considering what programs and events will help build bridges in our community, provide support and care, and give those who come a sense of safety and belonging. Please reach out to share your voice and help us shape what this ministry will become.
United Kids Camp is back again!

Each day will provide opportunities to explore creation’s four elements through art, games, songs, stories, and community resources!

The United Church of Canada is proud to stand with the 2SLGTBQIA+ community ❤️

Mama's Circle
Children welcome!

Join us Tuesday mornings from 10am-12pm in the playroom downstairs for coffee, tea, and snacks as we make space to talk about what's going on in our lives. This is a space where mamas can spend time in community, sharing our experiences and learning from each other. Once a month, we'll also collaborate to plan and prepare freezer meals together.

Kids Church
Every Sunday Morning

We are pleased to once again welcome children to the playspace in the lower hall for a song, story, and activity that reflects the service upstairs. Children will spend some time in the sanctuary, with space to play quietly at the front, and then go downstairs with Aleesha and another helper after the lighting of the candles. 

To volunteer, please speak with Aleesha.

Campus United @ Red Deer Polytechnic

For a second year, Campus United will be connecting with students at RDP to provide a free space for friendship, food, and fun. If you're a student at RDP and curious about connecting with what we're doing, please contact Aleesha by emailing firstthirdministry@sunnybrookunited.org or texting 587-402-2192 for more information.

Holding Space Newsletter

Once a week, I’m posting a newsletter about the beautiful messiness in the cycles of life, progressive spirituality, raising children, finding belonging, and what is happening in the community. There will be space for folks to comment on each newsletter, as well as respond to a weekly prompt posted in the “Chat” feature. Check it out here.
