First-St. Andrew's United Church has stood on the corner of Waterloo Street and Queens Avenue in London since 1868: that's just one short year after the Confederation of Canada. Take a peek at the steps that brought us to where we are today.But there's even more to learn. Our roots 'At the Heart' of London go even deeper, to November 11, 1832 when Rev. William Proudfoot delivered his first sermon. Proudfoot's diaries and biographers paint a picture of a radical, progressive thinker with a big dream. We are his legacy.

According to the Apostle Paul's precious promise in Ephesians, God predestined us 'to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved.'God's grace secures the believers' acceptance.We belong to God because of his personal plan to save us through his Son, by His Spirit, before all time! This salvation is free and comes by faith, which highlights the grace and mercy of our God. We passionately want to live to the praise of the glory of his grace and we fervently pray for others to experience the grace of God, in whose arms we are fully and forever
