About Us
Living Spirit United Church was formed in 2002 from the amalgamation of the congregations of Riverview United Church, Southminster United Church and Westminster United Church. The congregation is a member of Calgary Presbytery of the United Church of Canada.
At Living Spirit United we strive to be an open-minded, relevant and inclusive intergenerational faith community. In keeping with the Spirit of Christ we welcome people of all backgrounds regardless of gender, age, economics, status, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity or creed. Our vision and mission is to “meet people where they are” and to “transform lives and communities through God’s love”. Come and enjoy your journey with friends.
Our Ministry Team
Jennifer Ferguson and Traci Hubbard were called to Living Spirit in 2009 to be our dynamic ministry team. Together, along with the other staff and our congregation's gifts, they help bring the stories of faith alive through humour, drama, multi-media, movie clips, music, dance and a current spiritual message applicable to contemporary life. Jennifer and Traci are a married, same gender couple and have a blended family of five children (14-28 years), sons-in-law and a grandchild. By calling them as spiritual leaders of our community, we are stating our belief in Christ's message that all people and all family constellations are welcome and everyone belongs to the family of God. Jennifer and Traci each bring 24 years of diverse ministry experience covering a range of theological perspectives.
