Royal City Mission

The performance was fabulous. The setting was lovely. The musicians played beautifully. Highly recommend this performance for anyone who wants a great night out. Awesome!!!

Built in 1873, the historic Royal City Mission (earlier known as the Chalmers United Church) stands tall in downtown Guelph. The church has a beautiful sanctuary that was designed for acoustics, making it a popular venue for concerts and performances.

With cushioned seating on the floor level and an overarching balcony section with cinema-style wooden seats, you're guaranteed a great view of the band regardless of where you sit. However, it does not compare well with purpose-built concert venues with higher production quality in terms of lighting or sound.

We saw the Great Lake Swimmers here in 2023 and it was a good performance with a packed audience.

These people are real! Genuine and lovely. The services have fantastic music and honest, thought-provoking teaching.

I recently visited Royal City Mission in Guelph and was thoroughly impressed. The facility was immaculately clean, and the staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The meals they served were not only delicious but also prepared with care. What sets Royal City Mission apart is their genuine focus on people. It's more than just a building; it's a warm and caring community. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking support and a sense of belonging.

Royal City Mission is a great place to get hot meals, drink coffee and get warm! You can get plenty of great conversations as well as pull up a piece of floor and take a 😴 nap or color a picture! The people are kind and friendly....

The Mission serves the homeless community in so many ways. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, storing a small amount of clothes. Regular visits by social workers. The frontline staff are amazing. Because there are many factors and reasons why someone is homeless. These workers not only compassionate, but they put themselves in harms way just to support the homeless.

This downtown core church is stepping up for community. A multi-purpose facility. Something for everyone. Started attending Sunday services here recently and feel this is where we need to be. Where do you need to be? Give generously to this church so they can give back to the community. The need is real. Blessed to feel blessed!

Wonderful people who make everyone feel welcomed

Great place especially if you're experiencing homelessness. They provide meals, snacks and coffee. Hours they open 12pm to 730pm during the week, Saturdays 12-7 and Sundays there closed.

Incredible place, incredible work. One of the few places in Guelph that truly ministers to the unhoused and marginalized. Great work folks.

Awesome staff, really beautiful people working. God bless this place and all the people who visit daily and the people who volunteer to make their days a bit better

Another great place, for so many reasons really. A real treasure right in the heart of downtown. A wonderful place to hear God's word , Saturday Kingdom life fellowship meets to worship at 2pm though the back door Baker St parking lot entrence and go upstairs . You will be glad you came out ,garentee you will want to keep coming back. The Love of God is flowing here ,Royal city church does a great job though there many volunteers to help feed and care for the less fortunate. It is a great place in all, to share your blessings and walk away with some extra ones.

Super Saturday Night Suppers. Sometimes they really put on a spread. It's my understanding various community groups take turns putting it on. It's at 6 Saturdays. It has been roast beef, Turkey, Ham, Pizza Lasagna and everything else you could imagine. Lots of fresh fruit and and vegetables. Coffee milk and juice. Desert is mostly heavenly. Great cakes cookies pies and more. Attracts 120 - 140 persons some times. Fantastic volunteer spirit here. I have enjoyed Royal City Church as a volunteer and a participant.

Such a cool venue for a show.

Beware that there aren't really enough washrooms for a large crowd, but you might expect that from a church when used as a concert hall!

I had the pleasure of volunteering with Royal City Mission. My experience was wonderful and humbling. I highly recommend coming to this church and if you have the ability please volunteer some of your time.

This is a wonderful place where EVERYONE IS ABSOLUTELY WELCOME! And they provide a free supper, Monday thru Thursday 7:00pm and Saturdays at 6:00pm! Friday they offer a brunch from 10:00am till12:00 pm. After meals you are invited to their Free art and writing programs as well as movies!🤗

You can get free breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meet welcoming volunteers and employees for an excellent service.

Volunteers to feed the homeless. The organizers do a fantastic altruism job! The kitchen has been renovated. Everything is kept clean

We saw Donovan Woods here for hillside inside and have a great night!! Arrive early for best seats! The columns/pillars can really onstruct your view depending on where you sit!

Wonderful welcoming church community downtown Guelph. They serve food and hope from 1pm till 6pm and in the heart of the city.
