REACHING OUT
WELCOMING IN
GROWING IN CHRIST
|
Welcome to the Deep River Community Church
located in Deep River, Ontario, just off Deep River Road, near Hwy 17. |
Deep River Community Church sits on a hill overlooking the road into Deep River ‑ in spirit, greeting new arrivals to our town.
| The driveway beside the church will take you around to the parking lot at the back of the church, and give you access to both the church and our adjunct building, the
Christian Education Centre. |
 |
 |
Inside, the church is a light, peaceful sanctuary, a fitting and conducive place for the worship of God. |
|
|
Our spiritual needs are
attended to by our minister, the Rev. Dr. Ruth
Syme, and our voluntary associate
minister, the Rev. Andy McKee. We had several student interns
who came for eight month stints. The church is self governing
under its
Constitution and, between Congregational
meetings, the church operates under the
Council and a number of
committees. Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs are elected on
a staggered basis annually for two years at the annual
congregational meeting.

Minister Ruth Syme,
B.A., B.Ed., M.A., Ph.D.

Under the guidance of these people and of our ministers, Worship Services and Sunday School are conducted and many activities and functions go on. We have a very active 20+ member choir, an attentive pastoral care committee, and a whole lot of terrific cooks who supply wonderful food for the many potlucks, teas, etc. that
we have.
Missions and Community Outreach both locally and globally are an important part of our church life.
After many years of
faithful and uplifting service, our Minister the Rev.
Ruth Syme has submitted her
resignation and will retire effective 2008 August 31.
The Rev. Paul Evans has accepted our call effective 2008
September 01.
