Our Mission

A Community of Christ Sharing Christ with our Communities

• We are strengthening the faith of our church community through worship, witnessing and discipleship ministries with the goal of building

a people fully devoted to Jesus Christ.

They shall be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendour.

Isaiah 61:3c

• We are endeavouring to make our faith community one that is accessible and receptive to the diversity of Toronto, engaging seekers and offering

a credible Christian witness.

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:14-16

• We are sharing in the life, service and work of our communities so that together through these relationships we will be

participants in God’s redemptive work of grace and transformation.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8

…so where the river flows, everything will live. Ezekiel 47:9

In the vision statement is held the truth and tension of being the people of God, as defined by the scriptures. We exist, not merely to create and nurture the church body; we exist to engage the world around us. The concept of being a disciple embraces the whole vision: growth and deepening of our faith through study, worship, prayer and the like, but also a profound embracing of service and proclamation to the world around us, that the name of Jesus and the values of the reign of God be known and practiced
