Don Heights is part of a network of 41 Unitarian congregations in Canada, under the Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC.CA) banner. We subscribe to Unitarian Universalism, a liberal faith grounded in underlying principles and shared values. Our religion has existed for more than 450 years.
Unitarianism doesn’t follow a set creed or dogma. Unitarians unite behind our Eight Principles, including acceptance of one another, compassion, a commitment to justice and equity, and dismantling systemic barriers to full inclusion. We believe in diversity, and exploring the mysteries of life. We believe in ethical living, in displaying our values by working for peace, justice, equity, democracy, inclusion, and the environment, the interdependent web of life, of which we are all a part. We work for racial justice and for truth, healing, and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
Don Heights Unitarian Congregation earned a Welcoming designation for committing to LGBTQ+, indeed all backgrounds, ages, cultures, races, socio-economic levels, genders and abilities.
Don Heights is a welcoming place. Visitors feel it as soon as they walk through our doors. “Love” and “justice” are two important words in the Unitarian faith as are the “worth” and “dignity” to be found in every person.
People come to us from many faith backgrounds, including Atheist and Agnostic, drawn to our community for its inclusivity, and openness to learning about their beliefs.
There’s a Sunday morning service every week 10:30. The Sunday Service features a speaker, either a Unitarian minister or a subject matter expert, followed by a congregational dialogue. Music from a guest artist and Unitarian rituals – a candle lit on our sacred Chalice, traditional Land Acknowledgment, sharing Joys and Concerns, thoughtful readings, singing, announcements, and a collection, are interspersed. Don Heights donates a substantial percentage of its income to community charities to support arriving refugees, service agencies, and women’s shelters. Afterwards, stay for social time, fellowship and refreshments, and bi-weekly potluck lunches.
