Welcome

Dear friends,

Welcome to our website!  Thank you for taking the time to find us.  We are a warm, inclusive and curious community of faith and we are always happy to have new folks join us on the journey of faith, justice, meaning and hope.  We know you bring unique gifts and we would love to get to know you.

Calvin Presbyterian is located one block northwest of Yonge and St. Clair Ave. in Toronto.We share in a Ecumenical Shared Ministry with Deer Park United Church. 

Happy Easter!  Throughout the next 50 days, we will be celebrating the season of Eastertide.  We recognize through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, that with God all things are possible.  We are here to bear witness to the truth that:

 

Goodness is stronger than evil.

Hope is stronger than despair.

Love is more powerful than hatred.

Life triumphs over death.

Come help us celebrate and learn to be witness to these things in our complicated world. We think, pray and work together to love God with our minds and hearts and to love our neighbours as we love ourselves.

Some upcoming special events:

        • We will celebrate Earth Sunday on April 27.  A guest preacher, a re-gifting sale, special coffee hour, a hike and new recycling initiatives will help us care for God’s Creation

 

        • We will host a colourful cabaret performance  by our choir and youth choir of musical numbers and scenes from “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat” on Thursday May 1 at 7pm.  Tickets are $25 for adults and $10 for students/youth.  Refreshments included with your ticket.  Come enjoy a wonderful evening of fun and fellowship.  All proceeds will support local missions such as the Churches on the Hill Foodbank and our Benvolence Fund.
        • We will take a special Mother’s Day collection to support mothers and children in need on Sunday May 11, 2025.

WORSHIP AT CALVIN/DEER PARK is every Sunday at 10:30am and all are welcome.

Our sanctuary hosts many concerts and events, which you can see on our concerts page.  We also host community meetings, such as AA.  Our building is also home to The Toronto Children’s Chorus.

We appreciate all our volunteers and those who have donated to the church.  Thank you! Your generosity allows Calvin/Deer Park to flourish in this neighbourhood.  Donations can be made by cheque/cash, e-transfer (contact the Church Office) or CanadaHelps (on our donate page). Tax receipts are available for donations.

We are also continuing to share current events for the church, please email [email protected] to get on our mailing list.

We worship together, share in ministry and serve God together. We are two distinct congregations that share a history, a neighbourhood, worship services and one Lord and Saviour whom we worship and trust. Our congregation seeks to live out Jesus’s commandment to love our God with our hearts, minds and spirits and to love our neighbour as ourselves.

Our cooperation is unique and we rejoice and take strength in the words written to the faithful at Ephesus: “one faith, one hope, one baptism.” Ephesians 4:5
