Augustine United Church is located in

Osborne Village , a charming and densely populated neighbourhood in Winnipeg, where there is always something going on.  Home to artists  and artisans, students and seniors, young professionals and “squeegy kids”, the Village offers variety in every way. 

With her spire visible from many points in the Village, Augustine United Church is itself unique and diverse.  People from the Village, but also folk from more distant parts of the city, make this their “home church”. 

They choose it because, in this affirming, inclusive community, they find, true acceptance, a persistent     open-ness to new ideas, a commitment to justice  and a deep reliance upon God.
