McLeod-Stewarton United Church
McLeod-Stewarton United Church is an historic church located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada's Centre-town on Bank Street. It is a member church of the United Church of Canada. The church was created on November 19, 1961 when McLeod Street Methodist Church amalgamated with Stewarton Presbyterian Church. The building they chose was the Stewarton building which was erected in the 19th century. Its corner stone was laid by Sir John A. Macdonald. In 2004, it voted against amalgamating with First United Church and against becoming an affirming church. The church is heavily involved with social programs in the community, and abroad. The church oftens sends a youth delegation abroad on Habitat for Humanity trips. Located on the second floor of the building is Centre 507 which is an outreach centre providing food and clothing for the neighbourhoods homeless population. The current minister (interim) is the Rev. Grant Dillenbeck.
