Welcome To Fish Creek United Church!
Since 2013 the Faith Communities of St. Andrew’s United Church and Deer Park United Church have worshipped together to celebrate our faith and the presence of God in our lives. We have come to participate together in other activities and projects as well, and to share our passions and gifts with each other and our wider community. In 2019 an Amalgamation Steering Committee was formed to explore the possibility of a full amalgamation. While this process was complicated by the pandemic and the inability of our communities of faith to meet in person, the ASC was able to consult with congregants and investigate the many strengths and gifts apparent in the programs and ministries of each faith community, the necessary changes to structure and governance, and the opportunities and the challenges choosing to amalgamate would bring. Out of this came a recommendation that Deer Park United Church and St. Andrew’s United Church amalgamate into one community of faith.
On November 7, 2021, the eighth anniversary of our worshipping together, we gathered for a congregational meeting and vote, where we prayerfully and intentionally decided to formally amalgamate the individual faith communities of St. Andrew’s United Church and Deer Park United Church into one new community of faith. On January 16, 2022 this new community of faith held its first congregational meeting and chose to be known as Fish Creek United Church.
A new website under the name of Fish Creek United Church is under construction. In the meantime, please continue to visit it us at https://andychurch.org/ or https://dpuc.ca/

A Ministry Beyond Walls
In many locations in South Calgary... and beyond.A vital and healthy congregation, St. Andrew’s United Church chose to sell its building in the Fall of 2013 to expand its outreach work in Calgary. This amazing mission all began five years earlier when elder Lloyd Flood suggested that their building at Heritage and Elbow in Calgary be sold so that the congregation could have a wider ministry. Ironically, Lloyd was a founding member of the congregation who helped build the church in the 1950s. Through much prayer, discernment, planning and work, Flood’s idea took shape through the congregation and beyond. The congregation’s programs have begun to spread throughout the south end of the city in partnership with other agencies and churches. The building was sold. The church’s office and program space moved to 1-10601 Southport RD SW, now called St. Andrew’s Centre. The congregation now worships Sunday mornings together with Deer Park United Church. Programing takes place at St. Andrew’s Centre and locations throughout southern Calgary. Lloyd, 83 died in March 2011, but his vision continued to take shape. Yet it was one the congregation took hold of and understood. Congregation members gathered in the old building for a final feast on October 29, 2013. One of the younger members, Annalee, led those gathered in grace. She said she was sad to leave her church building behind but she was happy she would continue to be with her church family in a new place. The ministry of St. Andrew’s United, Calgary, continues in a new way and in new places. Join us for one of those adventures of a lifetime!
