We are looking for your contributions to help create a special book to commemorate our upcoming 60th ANNIVERSARY! Click here for more information. We are in the process of creating a new website!

In the meantime, we appreciate your patience as some aspects of this website might become outdated.

We are situated on 116 acres of Carolinian forest at the confluence of the Grand River and Whiteman's Creek near Paris, Ontario. This is a sacred place and we invite you to come and experience the Spirit here!

Five Oaks is an Educational Centre of The United Church of Canada. We are named in recognition of the five central Ontario conferences which we served first and also for the majestic oak trees which grace the land. We offer programs, provide for personal and congregational retreats and host a great variety of church and community groups.

This site includes programming information for all ages (children, youth, and adults), online registration and information about our facilities including photos. You will also find here our newsletter and opportunities for involvement including the opportunity to make online donations, links to related sites, information about our location (map and nature trails) and the history of our centre.


Five Oaks is recognized as an Affirming Ministry of The United Church of Canada.
