The Kanata Centre for Worship and Global Song, located at Martin Luther University College in Waterloo, Ontario, recognizes that people everywhere in our multicultural, multifaith world are striving to embrace the mystery of life. We celebrate and support this pursuit by creating opportunities to develop and participate in worship, art, and song practices that are woven with the richness of diverse cultures and faiths.

We link the public expression of faith to our deep connection with all of creation, and we hope to fulfil our mission by keeping forefront in our hearts and minds the goal of working for the common good. We welcome the public as well as students, faculty and staff from all Laurier campuses to attend our events.

Art — whether in the form of music, architecture, movement or a myriad of visual expressions — has aided worship and reflection since prehistoric times. In addition to all of the liturgical arts that we incorporate into our worship services, we stimulate critical reflection through our Art on the Wall program, which explores faith and justice through visual art.

Each semester in the academic year, we display the work of different artists. Past exhibitions have included quilts, paintings, mixed-media pieces, photography and poetry. Our worship leaders and faculty members often draw from this artwork during their services and for their classes.

We are happy to collaborate with artists from across Laurier’s campus and throughout Waterloo Region. If you think your artwork would help us stimulate conversation and reflection, please contact Debbie Lou Ludolph, Dean of chapel and Director of Martin Luther University College's Kanata Centre for Worship and Global Song.
