Faith. Freedom. Responsibility.
Welcome to The Church of Canada (TCoC).
We believe that a strong nation begins with strong people—people who choose to live with integrity, courage, compassion, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our mission is simple: inspire Canadians to hold themselves to a higher standard by embracing one of history’s greatest codes of conduct—the Ten Commandments.

These timeless principles have guided civilizations for thousands of years. Regardless of where someone is on their faith journey, the values they teach—respect for God, respect for family, respect for others, honesty, and accountability—remain as relevant today as ever.
At The Church of Canada, we believe that changing Canada begins by changing ourselves.
A Higher Standard
Being a member of TCoC is not about claiming to be perfect.
It is about making the daily decision to become better than yesterday.
Every Commander strives to:
- Tell the truth.
- Keep their word.
- Respect life.
- Respect property.
- Honour family.
- Reject corruption.
- Stand up for justice.
- Defend the weak.
- Live with humility.
- Lead by example.
The Ten Commandments are more than ancient words carved in stone—they are a blueprint for building trustworthy families, stronger communities, and a freer nation.
We believe freedom works best when it is guided by responsibility.
Commanders
Members of The Church of Canada are known as Commanders.
A Commander is someone who accepts the challenge of living according to a higher moral code.
Commanders understand that leadership is earned through character, not titles.
They lead by example in their homes, workplaces, churches, businesses, and communities. They seek peace before conflict, wisdom before judgment, and truth before popularity.
Being a Commander is not about being above others.
It is about holding yourself accountable first.
High Commander
The Church of Canada is led by Stephen “Buck” Hill, known within the Church as the High Commander.
Buck has been an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church for more than thirty years and has spent decades encouraging Canadians to value freedom, personal responsibility, community service, and individual rights.
Throughout his public life, Buck has become known as a passionate advocate for civil liberties, constitutional freedoms, open government, and the importance of ordinary citizens participating in democracy. His belief has always been that rights are best protected when people also embrace responsibility, integrity, and respect for others.
As High Commander, his mission is straightforward:
Help Canadians become better neighbours, better citizens, better leaders, and better examples for future generations.
Our Foundation
The Church of Canada is built upon the enduring wisdom of the Ten Commandments:
- Put God first.
- Reject idols that replace truth and distract you.
- Don’t use the the Lord’s name in vain (personal gain).
- Remember the Sabbath.
- Honour your father and mother.
- Do not murder.
- Remain faithful in marriage.
- Do not steal.
- Do not bear false witness.
- Do not covet what belongs to others.
These commandments are not simply rules.
They are principles that encourage honesty over deception, faithfulness over betrayal, generosity over greed, and responsibility over selfishness.
Our Vision
We envision communities where neighbours trust one another.
Where families are strong.
Where children grow up surrounded by positive role models.
Where freedom is protected by people of good character.
Where disagreements are settled with respect instead of hatred.
Where Canadians understand that rights and responsibilities walk hand in hand.
Our Motto
Know the Commandments.
Live the Commandments.
Lead by the Commandments.
Together, we can build stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger Canada—one Commander at a time.
Welcome to The Church of Canada.
Welcome, Commander.
