Participants at the 2005 Aboriginal Consultation in Sudbury strongly recommended that Aboriginal peoples become partners in the work of The United Church of Canada through the establishment of an Aboriginal Ministries Unit. The Aboriginal Ministries Steering Committee was established in 2006 to undertake a process of consultation and discernment with Aboriginal members and others within the church about a National Aboriginal Council and Aboriginal Ministries Unit. A report of the Steering Committee, entitled “Giving Voice to a Vision” was presented to the General Council Executive in November, 2008. Based on the adopted report, the Aboriginal Ministries Council, with the purpose of overseeing and guiding the work of Aboriginal Ministries was created and to be implemented by an Aboriginal Ministries Council Implementation Task Group. The inaugural meeting was held in September, 2009. A staff team in the General Council office is called Aboriginal Ministries Circle and works in partnership with The United Church to apply Aboriginal people’s vision of spiritual healing, stewardship, and economic well-being. A large part of their work is the National Aboriginal Spiritual Gatherings which provide an opportunity to share and nurture the vision of the Circle. The Aboriginal Ministries Council takes direction from the Spiritual Gatherings and sends this work to the Executive of the General Council. It also reflects and takes into consideration the documented meetings of the Aboriginal Ministries Steering Committee, the All Native Circle Conference, and Aboriginal Presbyteries which document and reflect the voice of the Aboriginal community. The Council supports approximately 52-56 Native Ministries, including congregations and outreach ministries. The Healing Fund and the Towards Right Relations Task Group both report to the Council.

In 1926 the Presbyterian Missionary and Deaconess Training Home and the Methodist National Training School joined to form the United Church Training School in Toronto. In 1930 the School became affiliated with Emmanuel College, whose staff contributed to the courses of instruction. The School was first located at 135 St. Clair Avenue West, the former Methodist building. In 1942 the Canadian Women's Army Corps took over the St. Clair building and the school moved to 214 St. George Street West; in 1955 a new building was constructed at 77 Charles Street West. The purpose of the school was to train women for work as missionaries for home and foreign fields, Social Service, as congregational workers in pastoral charges, and other non ordained Church vocations. The School was under the direction of a Board of Management which was appointed by the United Church of Canada General Council, and was supervised by a Principal, a position held by Jean E. Macdonald, 1926 1934, Gertrude L. Rutherford, 1934 1946, Jean D.H. Hutchinson, 1946 1953, and K. Harriet Christie, 1953 1970. In 1962 the name was changed to Covenant College, and the constitution amended to permit the admission of male students.

Prior to 1982, various regional groups existed to provide support and strategies for lesbians and gays in the United Church: United Church Gays and Lesbians of B.C.; One Loaf (Regina); The Council on Homosexuality and Religion (Winnipeg); TOUCH – Toronto United Church Homosexuals; and United Church Gays and Lesbians of Quebec (UCGLQ). The latter group, UCGLQ, offered to host and organize a gathering in Montreal days before the 29th General Council in August 1982 to explore the possibility of establishing a national network within the United Church for gay and lesbian persons.

AFFIRM – Gays and Lesbians in the United Church of Canada was established on August 5, 1982 as a national network of regional groups of lesbian and gay members and adherents of the United Church to: "Affirm gay and lesbian people within the United Church of Canada, provide a network of support among regional groups, act as a point of contact for individuals and speak to the church in a united fashion encouraging it to act prophetically and pastorally both within and beyond the church structure."
Open to all gay and lesbian people associated with the United Church of Canada, AFFIRM members could participate at the annual general meeting and establish local groups which would have representation on the National Consultative Council. The National Consultative Council, consisting of chairperson(s), secretary/treasurer, and local representatives, would appoint functions to the local groups, deal with policy making, and to make decisions between general meetings.

Affirm worked with the support of allies within Friends of Affirm, an organization of lay and order of ministry people who supported the aims and programs of Affirm. Affirm/Friends of Affirm submitted briefs to church and government decision-making bodies, spoke at church meetings, and offered educational events and resources. The Affirming Congregation Programme was launched by Affirm and Friends of Affirm in the summer of 1992 to provide materials to study the issues of inclusion and welcoming of diverse peoples, namely gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people. Participating United Church organizations become Affirming Ministries.
At a joint 1994 annual general meeting, the decision was made to merge Affirm and Friends of Affirm at the national level to “afford new opportunities for all people regardless of sexual orientation to work together.” The new organization was named Affirm United/S’Affirmer Ensemble.

The Support to Local Ministries Unit was one of six working units created in 2001 that brought together work from the former Division of Mission in Canada and from the former Department of Stewardship Services following the restructuring of the General Council Office.
The unit was mandated to provide denomination support that enables, develops, and celebrates the vital and holistic ministries of diverse local church bodies (congregations, institutions, and specialized ministries) across Canada. Its work was divided into three programs, namely: Mission through Finance Program, Congregational Mission and Church Development Program and Specialized Ministries Program.

Like the Community Missions East, the work of the western section (Manitoba to British Columbia) was built upon the work carried on by the three uniting societies. The Congregational missionaries had been instrumental in isolated communities, while the Methodists had worked among recent immigrants in cities such as Winnipeg. The Presbyterians had undertaken work among Jews, Ukrainians, and other immigrant groups and new Canadians, as well as workers in extractive industries such as logging on the Pacific coast. Work with recent immigrants, hospital visitation, community work, and church extension into rural areas were all undertaken by the missionaries. While early work was concentrated primarily in large centres such as Vancouver and Calgary, a new type of woman worker, the missionary-at-large, came to labour in small, isolated communities where she was often the sole representative of the Church. This was especially true in northern communities, such as Flin Flon, Man., Cold Lake, Alta. and Cariboo Presbytery, B.C.

The Japanese Mission began when the Methodist Society sent Martha Cartmell to undertake evangelistic and educational work in 1882. By the time of Church Union in 1925 there were stations in nine cities. Kindergartens, a primary school, three high schools, and the Women's Christian College suggested the heavy emphasis on educational work, but there was also evangelistic and social work in the cities. World War II interrupted the work. Many of the missionaries returned to Canada, and a national church, the Church of Christ in Japan (Kyodan), took over responsibility for mission work. Following the war, Canadian missionaries returned under the direction of the Church of Christ. Western missionaries were represented through the Interboard Committee, based in New York, and through that body, represented on the Council of Cooperation (COC) along with the Church of Christ and the Japan Christian Education Association.

Two churches operated in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) at this time: the Church of Central Africa in Rhodesia (CCAR), a predominantly black African church, and the Copperbelt Free Church Council (CFCC), a predominantly white European church. While the missionaries were to work with both groups, their activity was concentrated on working with African women through the Mindolo Women's Training Centre, which eventually became part of the Mindolo Ecumenical Centre for Conference, Training and Research. An integration of the mission work with a united church made up of these two churches (United Church of Central Africa in Rhodesia--UCCAR) took place in 1961.
