Affiliations

We are Bible Believing Christians who are committed to God’s Word. Although we are not currently denominationally-affiliated, we have functioned historically as an Evangelical Baptist Church. 

We are Evangelical, because we believe the good news that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died on the cross for sinners, was raised from the dead, ascended to the Father, and sent his Holy Spirit to be with his believers. In response to this message, we believe that the Bible teaches that every person must repent and believe in Jesus Christ. 

We are Baptist, because we align doctrinally with the group of Christians who would call themselves Baptists. We happily agree with the majority of the 1644 and 1689 London Baptist Confessions. 

We are closely aligned with Grace Fellowship Church Toronto.  The elders of Grace Fellowship Church were instrumental in helping our church through a difficult season and their elders acted as our elders for a number of years. We are very grateful for their help and are thankful for them. 

Here are a few organizations that we have been greatly blessed by:

The Gospel Coalition is a group of pastors and churches that exist to promote gospel-centered ministry and biblically-faithful resources for the church. Park Royal Bible Church shares the doctrinal convictions and theological vision for ministry as outlined in their Foundation Documents.

The Gospel Coalition Canada is a national coalition of churches across our country committed to the priority and application of the gospel in a Canadian context. The "north/south" relationship has been strong with brothers and sisters down in the States, but there has never been an effective relationship "east/west". The goal of TGC Canada is to build partnerships across the country to help one another advance the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

9Marks Ministries, founded by Pastor Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, DC, has been formative in our understanding of how a church is to be governed. 

Desiring God Ministries has influenced us primarily through the writing and preaching of Pastor John Piper. Though we are not in formal affiliation with Desiring God, we share John Piper’s convictions about the Bible’s teaching on God’s sovereignty, salvation, mission, suffering, and the way one should live the Christian life.
