We understand that COVID-19 has impacted our lives in significant ways, from self-isolation to employment for many. This page’s purpose is to provide you with relevant information, details about our diaconate support, and for those with bandwidth, opportunities to support our community and city.
Being in need can be humbling, but we are here to support you according to the generosity of our God who sent Christ to give us life for the world. Through our gospel conviction and as written in Acts 4 and James 1, it is the calling from God to Christians to give generously and selflessly. Please feel welcomed to let us know how we at Grace Toronto Church can support you whether through practical or material means.
