I'm New Here!

Welcome to Christ First!

 

Christ First was established in 2019 as a result of an amalgamation between Christ Church (Clarkson) and First United (Port Credit). We are an Affirming Congregation, and we honour the sacred call to diversity in community, and open our doors and our practices to full participation by all, in all aspects of our life and work together.

Planning Your Visit

When does the worship service start?

Our Sunday morning worship service begins at 10am. at 9:45am, we being playing music, and encourage folks to join in an informal hymn-sing time. 

How do I find you?

We have two campuses, as a result of our amalgamation. Sunday services are held at 1700 Mazo Cres., in Mississauga, ON. We are in the Clarkson community near the intersection of Truscott Road and Clarkson Road. 

 

What should I wear?

You are welcome to come as you are! Please dress as you feel comfortable, and know that you are welcome unconditionally. 

 

Are my children welcome?

Yes! Our 10am worship service features an intergenerational time of Growing Together, followed by Sunday School programming each week during the remaining service time. The sounds of children are most welcome during services, and we offer a busy station for those who may not wish to leave their grown ups to participate in Sunday School. 

 

I’m not a member of the United Church of Canada. Can I still come to Christ First?

Absolutely! No matter where you are in your faith journey, Christ First is a safe space where you can bring your questions, and find kindness and support.

 

I’m a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Am I safe to come to Christ First?

Christ First is welcoming of all people, and strives to ensure that all are treated equally. On October 5, 2025 we officially became an Affirming Ministry within Affirm United and The United Church of Canada. As an Affirming congregation, we commit to being an inclusive community of faith, where all are treated equitably and with dignity, through the welcoming and celebrating of all people, including but not limited to: persons of any age, colour, ethnic origin, gender expressions, identities, genders, sexual orientations, social or economic circumstance, abilities, and family configurations.

I have a disability. How will I manage?

Christ First is physically accessible from our main doors. When entering the building, there is an elevator to access the sanctuary on the upper level, and the auditorium on the lower level. We have large print service bulletins, as well as hearing assistance devices available for use during the service.  

 

Are your services online?

Yes, we livestream most of our services on our YouTube page.
