Located in the East End of Toronto at 975 Kingston Road, this church building is now 70 years old. The Congregation is 90 years old and is currently thriving (with attendance often passing the 200 mark).

Our Worship Services begin every Sunday at 10:30am. Our Sunday services are generally followed by Friendship Time, a time when visitors and members of the congregation can get to know each other better over coffee, tea, and snacks.

Our Mission:

A carved crest, mounted on the pulpit, bears this latin motto: "Fides. Fraternitas. Missio." (Faith. Fellowship. Mission.) In 1996 a Mission Statement, related to the above, was developed. It reads as follows:

Our FELLOWSHIP allows us to share God's gifts with one another.
Our MISSION is to honour God by building a world of peace and justice.
