1st Cantata
Church Service, 2004
Many of the ways we started reaching out to other people was through evagelism ministry, where the inception of our Cantata Team was made to not only ring in the holidays, but to exhort about the Goodness of God to those around us.

In 2003, the church had just started renting out a basement located at Jane and Shepherd for Sunday services. It would only be a few years that we would stay here, as more believers were ushered in and we grew to about 30-40+.

Breaking Down The Wall!
Date: January 3rd, 2011
In 2010, God showed us favour as we were able to acquire the second unit, Unit 25, in order to accommodate more believers as we had grown from 50+ to 70-80+. God continued to usher in more people and more families, and believers joined the church.

1 Chronicles 28:20-21
“Be strong and brave, do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, because the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or leave you until all of the work for the Temple of the Lord is finished.
(...)The groups of the priests and Levites are ready for all the work on the Temple of God. Every skilled worker is ready to help you with the work...”
The Extension
Just when we thought it was smooth sailing, God blessed us again with another increase in the east end of Toronto and neighbouring cities beyond, mainly Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax and Oshawa. Our East extension was opened in 2018, and the first service was held at the Brimley Oriental Centre. This unit is now used as our East Office facilities and LSSM classes.
The Expansion
Opened: November 4th 2023
After 5 years of renting out multiple units (mainly the CICS Community Centre) as well as endless praying and giving, our east brethren were blessed with a church building of their own, located at 11 Pleasent View Drive, just between Victoria Park and Shepherd, and Don Mills Station.
Present Day
The Great Commission
26th Anniversary 2024
As we’ve seen from generation to generation, the journey never stops as disciples of God. As we continue our walk of faith, let’s not think with a heart of pity and reluctance, but rather to equip our next generation and many more with God’s word as they continue to grow within and reach out to their peers as well. As it says in Matthew 28:18-20:
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
To God Be the Glory!
