Core Values

1. Church Planting

We value the church as God抯 primary way of working in the world.

2. Strategic Partnerships

We are a member of the Associated Gospel Churches of Canada (AGC) and ascribe to their statement of faith, purpose, vision and values. A statement can later be put here on our other partnerships, like ACGC, etc.

3. Autonomy of Congregations

We believe that in our multi-lingual setting, each congregation must have its own identity and relative autonomy while being accountable to a central body, the Council, representing the membership.

4. Evangelism

We are a missions-minded church believing in the Great Commission. Our mission field starts in Toronto, our Jerusalem, and extends to the uttermost parts of the world.

5. Pioneering Spirit

We are open to what the Spirit of God leads us to accomplish because there will be diverse needs and opportunities at different times.

6. Spiritual Formation

We are committed to the spiritual formation of each believer as evidenced by the fruit of the spirit.

7. Training

We are committed to the training of all those whom God has given us so that they may be mature as Christian workers and leaders, as evidenced by the effective use of their spiritual gifts.

8. Community

We believe that we are part of a community and must show the love of Christ in practical ways to one another and to our neighbours.

9. Cheerful Giving

We recognize the need for funds and other resources to accomplish our share of God抯 work. His riches bless us and we want to bless others through our generous giving.

10. Chinese Heritage

We affirm our roots as a church targeting those of Chinese descent. We endeavour to continue this Chinese ministry while also extending our reach to those of any ethnic background that the Lord opens to us.
