Sydenham Street United Church

Sydenham Street United Church is an inviting haven in a hurried world. We are a landmark in historic downtown Kingston, part of The United Church of Canada.

We are an Affirming congregation, celebrating more than 200 years of faith since our founding as a Methodist congregation in 1811. Our historic building welcomes you, as it has welcomed generations of worshippers and musicians: we are among the finest concert halls in the area, a favoured venue for concerts and events.
