A Brief History

The governance of Emmanuel Church is under the umbrella of the General Council of the United Church which is split into divisions known as Conferences, in which we fall under the Hamilton Conference. It is then further split down to Presbyteries in which we come under the Hamilton Presbytery. Within the Presbytery there are Pastoral Charges and we are the Emmanuel Pastoral Charge.

A Bit About Us and Hamilton

is a city located at the head of Lake Ontario, between Niagara Falls and Toronto. According to the 2001 census, Hamilton’s population is 490,268 making it the eighth largest city in Canada. Demonstrating the city’s diversity, nearly one-quarter of the metropolitan area population of Hamilton is foreign-born. This makes Hamilton the Canadian city with the third highest proportion of foreign-born citizens after Toronto (44%) and Vancouver (38%).

Hamilton Harbour was discovered by explorer Robert Cavelier De La Salle in 1669. The city was founded in 1816 and named after George Hamilton, a settler. Hamilton’s proximity to both natural resources and retail market, and the accessibility of various modes of transportation, has helped make Hamilton a main industrial centre for Canada. In 2000, Hamilton and five surrounding municipalities, Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook and Stoney Creek, merged to form a new amalgamated City of Hamilton.

Hamilton is a community of vibrant neighbourhoods, each with a distinct character. Westdale, Ancaster and Dundas offer culturally rich and exciting areas for dining, visiting galleries, and shopping. In downtown Hamilton, James Street North is a bustling engine of artistic energy with new galleries and emerging artists making their homes here. Locke Street is a place for antiques, collectibles and cafes, while Hess Village, with its cobbled streets, upscale dining and funky club scene swings till the wee hours. The waterfront district has become a Mecca for hikers, boaters and water sport enthusiasts. In the East end, there is a cornucopia of ethnic cultures, whose food stores and shops, like the bargain-priced fabric emporiums on Ottawa Street, are a buyer’s delight.

The city’s wealth of heritage is authentically preserved and displayed in museums including Dundurn Castle, and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. The newly renovated Art Gallery of Hamilton and vibrant performing arts companies like the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, Opera Hamilton and Theatre Aquarius quench the cultural thirst of audiences. The Bruce Trail and other footpaths weave through the city’s lush surroundings and along the waterfront, showcasing wildlife and waterfalls. Sports action occurs at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton’s east end, home to the city’s CFL franchise, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Hamilton Bulldogs play at downtown’s Copps Coliseum against the aggressive challengers of the AHL.

And circling the cosmopolitan pleasures of the city are some of the best urban pleasures to be had in Ontario – the splendour of Canada’s most important gardens, the Royal Botanical Gardens, the famous Bruce Trail, and an abundance of conservation area, water parks and walking paths. Overlooking the waters of Lake Ontario, and extending up over the protective circle of the Niagara Escarpment, this is a city whose proximity to Toronto and the Niagara Peninsula makes it an ideal destination for those who want to get close to the heart of the real Ontario.

The city is easily accessible via plane, train and automobile. Through the John C. Munro , and connect Hamilton to every province in Canada, and beginning in May 2007, will be offering flights to and from the United Kingdom. Amtrak and VIA Rail both reach the nearby Aldershot Station. Hamilton is also conveniently accessible via the QEW, 403 and 407 Highways.

Members of our church family mainly live in the East Mountain area surrounding the church. Members also come from across both the city’s core and mountain neighbourhoods, as well as surrounding communities of Ancaster, Stoney Creek, Dundas, Mount Hope, Binbrook, Burlington, and Milton.
