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.
WORSHIP AT CALVIN/DEER PARK is every Sunday at 10:30am and all are welcome.
The year 2025-2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Calvin Presbyterian Church. In addition, 2025 marked the 100th birthday of The United Church of Canada and the 150th Birthday of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Our new logo reflects the theme of all those celebrations: “Faithfully Rooted, Joyfully Growing.”
We are looking for new buds in out Elder Memorial Rose Garden which is marked with a stone to honour and remember all those who have served as Elders of Calvin Presbyterian Church over the last 100 years. Elders (who can be people of an
y age!) are elected by the congregation and ordained to the office of Elder. The elders make up the Session, which is the governing body of our church. The rose garden graces our green space, which we are happy to share with our neighbours. We do ask that you clean up after your dogs to keep our green space clean for everyone.
You are welcome at Calvin on Sunday mornings at 10:30am or at other events at the church.
Come help us celebrate and learn to be witness to God’s call to peace and justice in our world. We think, pray and work together to love God with our minds and hearts and to love our neighbours as we love ourselves.
If you are interested in children’s programming, opportunities to sing, serving meals to those who struggle with food insecurity or are looking for fellowship or study, come and talk with us or drop us an email at [email protected]!
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
