Music
Siloam United Church is proud of the music legacy that has grown and developed throughout the years. Our Choir features up to 30 voices and performs each Sunday morning, as music is an important part of worship.
Siloam also boasts a 3 octave hand bell choir, the Siloam Sounds, who often perform during worship and for special events such as concerts and even weddings.
We provide a varied music program at Siloam. If you would like to join our Choir or the Siloam Sounds, or have a particular talent you would like to share, please contact us at the church office at 519-455-9201 or [email protected].

ELUCO (East London United Church Outreach)
East London United Church Outreach (ELUCO) is a United Church ministry that advocates for and supports people to build community in the midst of challenging circumstances. This ministry primarily serves the Marconi community of south-east London but also includes the ELUCO Food Cupboard at Gethsemane Gardens and the Welcome Wednesday Hospitality Lunch program in the Huron East corridor of north-east London.
Siloam United Church contributes $12,000 each year toward ELUCO’s $100,000 annual budget.
Urban Roots Garden
Siloam United Church in conjunction with Urban Roots London has cultivated several acres of vacant land at the back of the property.
Since 2021 we have produced 2000-3000 pounds of fresh food per year. In addition to growing vegetables, our mini-farm includes a fruit orchard and fruit-bearing bushes. It also provides employment for students the Canada Summer Jobs Grant.
Urban Roots donates at least 33% of this food to local charitable organizations, and sells 33% directly to individuals in the community at affordable rates (50% of market value).
Love gardening or eager to learn? We are looking for volunteers to help with this growing project!

Canadian Foodgrains Bank
Siloam’s growing project is on 21 acres near Ballymote, generously donated by Dan Fraleigh.

LIRSA (London Interfaith Refugee Sponsorship Alliance)
Siloam supported LIRSA financially and continues to offer non-financial support through the time and energy of volunteers who help refugee families cope with day-to-day living.
Every second, refugees somewhere in the world are fleeing from their homes and cities seeking safety. Their plight is hard for many of us to imagine. They leave because of fear or famine, but always with hope.
