Community of Christ

About Us

We proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love, and peace.

Brydges Street Congregation has been part of the Argyle neighbourhood, London, Ontario, Canada for over 60 years.

We are a welcoming, inclusive Christian, traditional denomination, with 250,000 members located in more than 60 countries worldwide.
Community of Christ is a non-creedal and non-dogmatic, meaning that members are not required to assert a particular set of beliefs. Instead, we seek truth where-ever it can be found and are open to sharing new ideas and spiritual practices together on life's journeys.

Our mission is to invite people into community, continually learn and grow, abolish poverty, end needless suffering, pursue peace everywhere, and to live life meaningfully together.

We invite you to walk with us in our journey together.

Our members are very active in the London Community including the running of community dinners, regular donations for London Food Bank & Rotholme Women's & Family Shelter, hosting London Promenade Orchestra and much more. Our congregation is inviting and inclusive, all are welcome at Brydges.
