In its own words
We conduct weekly services and provide pastoral care. We also support the united church of canada (toronto) mission & service (overseas and domestic missionary activities). Due to a declining congregation we sold our church on june 30 2023 and our charity became inactive. All of our financial assets were disbursed to other registered charitable organizations prior to december 31 2023.
