One of the most important ways to get involved in the life of our congregation is to join one of the smaller communities within our congregation. It is in these communities where the good news of Jesus Christ is experienced regularly and friendships are cultivated.
There are three primary ways we gather in community:
CHRIST COMMUNITIES
Christ Communities are small groups that meet weekly or bi-weekly to learn more about what it means to follow Jesus—and to be formed into the likeness of Jesus—through a Bible or other book study, with prayer and fellowship. Because of the unique stages of life many of us find ourselves in, many of the groups are tailored to specific stages of life. We often offer groups for new moms, those exploring Christianity, those who are new to our church, men, women, families, and everything in between.
If you are interested in signing up for a Christ Community please visit our Studies Sign Up Page.
New groups begin at the end of September, and early January. Contact lyndon@christchurchtoronto.ca should you have any questions or requests.
NEIGHBOURS INITIATIVE
Interested in connecting with the community at Christ Church Toronto?
Consider connecting with a neighbourhood group!
What's a neighbourhood group?
Moving from being a visitor at a church to feeling meaningfully connected to a church is a daunting task. Many people find the idea of a traditional small group intimidating and a big commitment, especially if you have kids. We have decided to set up medium-sized groups around the city that we are calling Neighbourhood Groups.
What is the goal of a neighbourhood group?
The goal of the neighbourhood group is to connect Christ Church Toronto attendees to one another and to the needs of their neighbourhood through regular communication and gatherings.
What does it mean to join a neighbourhood group?
To join a neighbourhood is to essentially sign up to be on a mailing list! There is no major commitment. However, by signing up for a group you will be invited to gatherings and regularly hear of opportunities to connect with and serve your neighbourhood.
We currently have three neighbourhood groups: West of Coxwell, East of Coxwell, and Scarborough.
You can also sign up for one of our neighbourhood groups here.
Send us an email should you have any questions or requests.
ADULT/YOUTH SUNDAY SCHOOL
Every Sunday morning we hold Adult and Youth Sunday School classes from 9:00 - 9:45 am, before the Sunday Worship Service. During the Sunday School hour we offer a time of Supervised Play for children ages 4 through 10.
Adults will be going through a "Survey of the Old Testament," taught by Pastor Lyndon (and guests), designed to introduce congregants to the basic content of each book of the Bible while drawing out major themes, especially how each book connects to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is part of CCT's four-year curriculum cycle as follows:
YEAR A (2022-23) - Confessional Theology
YEAR B (2023-24) - Bible Survey: Old Testament
YEAR C (2024-25 - Bible Survey: New Testament
YEAR D (2025-26) - Church History
If you are interested in joinging our Adult Sunday School class, you can sign up here.
Youth (grades 6-12) are invited to join for "Covenant Discipleship," a course taught by Pastor Kyle, designed to prepare youth to make a profession of faith, but open to any youth who would like to explore what it means to follow Jesus and grow in the Christian faith.
