Please see requirements below.

We are a community that believes in a triune, humble, creative and relational God of grace who is our centre and who loves this broken world. Because of this, we seek to be a people of faith who grow as holistic followers of Jesus—disciples who love God, love each other and our neighbour, share God’s story, and show God’s care. We live this out in the community of Willowdale which is part of North York, Ontario.

Our desire as a church family is to grow into and live out our core values as disciples of Jesus.
