Kamloops United Church
Kamloops United Church is an Affirming Congregation of the United Church of Canada since 1996.
We are a downtown church, (directions) in the heart of Kamloops, where we have a 100 year history of Christian community and service on the corner of 4th and St. Paul.
Being a Centre for Community and Spiritual Discovery provides opportunities for anyone to explore, experience, question, discover, grow and be nurtured in many aspects of spirituality, community, and faith. KUC’s communities and our programs are open to everyone. All ages and stages are invited to participate. All faiths, and those of no faith, are warmly welcomed.
By hosting a variety of speakers, forums, book studies, and other educational programs, offering ongoing programs and continuing to explore a variety of music and worship opportunities, the Centre for Community and Spiritual Discovery is a continuation of KUC’s expanding role in the community and spiritual life of the region.
