A little about us - we are in the Antler River Watershed Regional Council, part of The United Church of Canada.

The two Churches are in small communities and part of The Town of Kingsville, Ontario, near the north shore of beautiful Lake Erie in the Sun Parlour of Canada. Ruthven is located between The Town of Kingsville and The Municipality of Leamington. New California is a small community just northwest of Kingsville downtown.

Essex County is the most southerly part of Canada, south of Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan USA (about an hour away via the Ambassador Bridge or Tunnel), and the same longitude as Northern California and Italy.

(Prior to Covid) Both congregations are usualy very involved in their Churches, offering Adult Choirs, UCW's (United Church Women a Ladies Group) and active Sunday School programs. We participate in several Community Outreach Programs and Mission Projects e.g. Haiti Mission Project, (see Outreach). Kingsville Community Food Bank, Leamington Salvation Army, etc.

Our RPC Newsletter is emailed out weekly. Services are zoomed weekly from each Sanctuary and recorded to YouTube. Please see annouoncemts for details.
