1 Corinthians 12:12-13
12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.Special Articles
- Toronto Neighbourhood One more small step forward in understanding the diversity of Toronto. Data on diversity in the city of Toronto, a 4- page report on ethnic diversity for the 140 neighbourhoods that make up the city of Toronto. From this data, we are able to quickly identify the neighbourhoods that have the highest percentage of immigrants, and other information. Do look at all the tabs on the bottom to see different perspectives of the most diverse neighbourhoods.
- Church Planting. In terms of the Great Commission we have a Christian duty to share Christ with the world. That duty involves the sacrament of baptism and the Christian process of discipleship within worshipping and gathered Christian communities. It is in this sense that we stand within a historical Church that has found its expression in locally gathered communities of faith who find their local vocation in mission and ministry.
About Us
There is a rapidly growing awareness within the Christian community of Toronto that significant progress toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission can be made right here in Canada’s most ethnically diverse city. Immigrants who live among us and the new waves of newcomers who continue to arrive often originate from the very countries we have been sending missionaries to for many years.
