Welcome to Centreville Memorial United Church

Centreville Memorial United Church is located in the rural community of Centreville, Ontario, north of Hwy 401 off the Camden East Rd exit. The red brick church can be found on Centreville Rd.

Centreville church building is centrally situated in the hamlet of Centreville on an attractive lot with ample parking spaces. The present brick structure was completed in 1948 following the destruction of the former church by fire in 1945.

In 1967 the United Church decided to close many of the smaller rural churches. As a result, both Reidville and Desmond joined the Centreville congregation.

In recent years a new steeple, roof, furnace and sound system have been welcome additions.

Church committees are Session, Trustees and Finance Committee, Anniversary, and Centreville Fall Fair Booth Committee. The Session works with our minister to plan worship and make decisions regarding our church work.

The Trustess and Finance committee looks after the finances and the upkeep of the church. We have recently replaced the furnace and oil tank, which was completely paid for by donations and fundraising.

Our major fundraiser is the Church Booth at the Centreville Fair, held on Labour Day weekend every year. Other fundraisers include a free-will ham supper, and a yard, bake and plant sale. Church members and many community people, who don’t attend worship services, help out with these events.

If someone is in need, we try to get money to him or her as soon as possible, as part of our outreach.

There is an active UCW group.

Sunday services are at 9:30am with Sunday School during the service.
