Robertson-Wesley United Church

Robertson-Wesley United Church is a brick Gothic Revival building in Edmonton's Oliver neighborhood with barrel vaulted ceilings and curved pews. The interior design creates acoustic qualities that enhance musical performances.

The building was consecrated in 1914 as Robertson Presbyterian Church and took its current name in 1925 when the Presbyterian denomination merged to form the United Church of Canada. This union marked a significant transition in Canadian religious history.

The church hosts an Artist-in-Residence program that provides four local artists with studio spaces within the building. Visitors can encounter the work of these artists as they move through the spaces.

The building features accessible entrances with ramps, an elevator for vertical movement, and assistive listening devices available throughout the worship spaces. Free parking is located along 123 Street and in a designated lot on the north side.

A specialized program called Choral Morphosis enables adults with disabilities to participate in musical performances with the congregation. This offering makes the space a gathering place for musical expression that welcomes all abilities.
