About Us

Munster United Church is located in Munster, Ontario close to the crossroads.  Our congregation started in 1823 with the first people gathering to worship on a regualr basis. In not too many years we will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of the founding of our congregation.

We are half of the Ashton-Munster Pastoral Charge with our sister church, Ashton United.

Our mailing address is 2881 Munster Road, Munster, ON, K0A 3P0.

The church office for the Ashton-Munster Pastoral Charge is located in Munster at the church.  The telephone number or the office is 613 838-3047.  Note that the office is not staffed full time.  The answering machine is checked regularly.

Our Contact Us pages offer the choice of sending an email message to a contact at Munster United Church, a contact from Ashton United Church, the minister, and the webmaster.

We operate with a Church Council instead of the traditional United Church structure of Elders, and Stewards and Trustees.  All the roles and responsibilities of the three traditional groups are covered by members of the Church Council.  Church Council meets regularly to deal with day-to-day activities and planning future events.

We worship Sunday mornings.  Our service time alternates weekly (with Ashton United Church) between 9:30 and 11:00 am.   Times are shown on the sign in front of the church and are also located on our Worship Page in the What’s On menu.  Use this Link or the shortcut on the right side of this page.  We have an active Sunday School.

You’ll find a brief history of our church and congregation on our Munster Church History page.

Munster United Church is also on Facebook.

Discover Your Community Church

Munster United Church is a community church.  We feel we are an integral participant in our community.  We recognize we are involved with many families: our church family, our community family, and our extended community family.  While we cannot be everything to everyone, we work at helping others in need, supporting worthy causes when possible, participating in community events, and enriching the lives of those in our various families.  We offer more than just Sunday worship time.
