In 1960, a group of Taiwanese Christian immigrants in Toronto began gathering for Bible study and fellowship, sharing faith and life. As the group grew in numbers, they started holding their own worship services at Leaside Presbyterian Church. On the first Sunday of March 1975, the fellowship was officially established as a church, becoming Toronto Formosan Presbyterian Church (TFPC). On December 26 of the same year, the church became a member of the Presbyterian Church in Canada (PCC).
By 1982, the congregation had grown to approximately 80 professing members. With the encouragement of the Rev. Rui-ren Liu (劉瑞仁牧師), the moderator of the session, and the unanimous agreement of the congregation, the Rev. Nan-chieh Wang (王南傑牧師) was inducted as the first ordained minister of the church. Due to continued growth, TFPC made the decision to move to Weston Presbyterian Church in April 1983. However, the temporary nature of renting worship space soon prompted the congregation to seek a permanent location.
TFPC was fortunate to find a suitable property within the bounds of the Presbytery of East Toronto (PoET). In December 1988, the church purchased the property at 31 Eastwood Road. At the same time, investments were made to the property through major renovations and expansion over the next two years. Finally in 1990, the congregation moved into the building and has been worshipping there ever since.
In 1993, following motions made made by the presbytery, TFPC elected nine new elders on April 11, all of whom were installed on May 9. Under the leadership of the Rev. Dr. Donald Wade, the interim moderator of the session, and the newly appointed elders, TFPC reached a new milestone. In September of the same year, the Rev. Bruce Musgrave (馬士桂牧師) was inducted as the minister of youth ministry, serving until June 1995.
On August 31, 1994, the Rev. Rong-min Chiang (江榮憫牧師) arrived in Toronto and was officially inducted on September 11 to serve the Taiwanese Ministry. In 2000, John Tors resigned as the youth director, and in 2001, Bob Hsieh took on this role. On February 26, 2002, Rev. Chiang resigned from his position and moved to Texas, USA. In April 2002, the Rev. Dr. Paul McLean (麥煜道牧師), appointed by PoET as the interim moderator, began guiding the church. On October 1, 2004, the Rev. David Pan (潘健信牧師) was inducted and served until his departure on April 30, 2009.
The Rev. Andy Kuo (郭毓安牧師) was inducted on November 20, 2011. Rev. Kuo continued his pastoral ministry of the church until his departure at the end of 2014. The Rev. Dr. Paul McLean and the Rev. Dr. Beth McCutcheon (麥可欣牧師) were appointed as co-interim moderators to guide the church in search of a new minister. During this time, the Rev. Moses Wu (伍烱豪牧師) provided spiritual care and pulpit supply for the Taiwanese Ministry from 2017-2019. The English Ministry were supplied by guest preachers as well as members who were theological trained.
In response to the challenges as well as opportunities brought about by COVID-19 in 2020, TFPC made efforts toward intergenerational worship, emphasizing on the church’s unique multilingual and multicultural identity. At the onset of the pandemic, the church began offering online bilingual (Taiwanese and English) devotionals. This multilingual format continued as worship services resumed both online and in person, and it remains an integral part of our worship today.
Given the complex nature of multicultural and multilingual immigrant churches, TFPC underwent a lengthy search for a suitable minister. On November 19, 2023, the Rev. Jay Liang (梁晧潔牧師), a second-generation Taiwanese-American who received theological education in Taiwan and Canada, was ordained and inducted as the minister of TFPC. Together with the session, they continue to shepherd this multicultural congregation founded on the love of God and in the name of Christ.
In Ephesians 2:19-22, the Apostle Paul writes, “So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone; in him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.” May we be united in Christ, with Him as the cornerstone of the church, building a church that reflects the unity found in the love of God.
1960年起，一群旅居多倫多的台灣人基督徒因追求共同的信仰理想，以查經團契的形式開始聚會，隨後逐漸組成教會，並借用Leaside長老教會的禮拜堂。1975年，由於對加入加拿大長老教會的看法存在分歧，教會分為長老教會和台語教會，各自發展。本教會於1975年3月的第一個主日正式成立，定名為「多倫多台灣基督長老教會」，並於同年12月26日加入加拿大長老教會。當時會員人數共計41名。
自成立以來，全體會友秉持自治、自養、自傳的精神與目標，齊心協力，教會逐漸壯大。1982年，在當時長執會主席劉瑞仁牧師的鼓勵下，經全體會友一致同意，聘請當時在紐約牧會的王南傑牧師，王牧師於1982年正式成為本會的第一任牧師。由於Leaside教會提供的場所已不再適合使用，遂於1983年4月遷移至Weston長老教會聚會。然而，借用其禮拜堂的過程中遇到諸多不便，恰逢多倫多東中會出售禮拜堂，我們於1988年12月購得該處，並於1990年遷入這座屬於我們自己的禮拜堂。
1993年，本會根據中會的決議，於4月11日選出九名新任長老，並於5月9日完成就職儀式。在當時的議長Rev. Dr. Donald Wade及新任長執的領導下，教會邁入了一個新的里程碑。同年9月，教會聘請馬士桂牧師（Rev. Bruce Musgrave）擔任青年輔導牧師，馬牧師於1995年6月離任。
1994年8月31日，江榮憫牧師前往多倫多並接受本教會的聘任。隨後於同年9月11日，在加拿大基督長老教會東多倫多中會的主持下，正式就任本會的第二任牧師。2000年，青年指導員約翰·托斯（John Tors）離職。2001年，本教會聘請謝先生（Bob Hsieh）擔任青年指導員。2002年2月26日，江榮憫牧師因聘辭職，前往美國德州。自2002年4月起，由中會派遣的囑託議長麥煜道牧師（Rev. Dr. Paul McLean）代理本教會的牧師職務。2004年10月1日，潘健信牧師接任本會牧師，並於2009年4月30日離任。
同年，教會聘請了郭毓安牧師，並於2011年11月20日正式接任本會牧師，承擔繼續牧養教會的使命。郭牧師於2014年離任，隨後中會派遣麥煜道牧師及麥可欣牧師（Rev. Dr. Beth McCutcheon）代理本教會的議長職務。在此期間，伍烱豪牧師於2017年至2019年間為台語部提供靈性關懷並負責講道。英語部則由外聘講員及受過神學訓練的會友擔任講道事工。
在2020年，因應Covid-19所帶來的挑戰與機遇，教會決定透過共同禮拜（Joint-Service）來強調世代融合及多語言、多元文化的特色。在疫情期間，教會開始進行線上雙語靈修與禮拜。隨著疫情後聚會的恢復，教會持續以雙語（台語和英語）進行共同敬拜。
由於移民教會具備多元文化和多語言的特性，教會在尋找牧者的過程中經歷了漫長的歲月。目前，梁晧潔牧師（Rev. Jay Liang）為台裔美籍第二代，曾在台灣和加拿大接受神學教育。梁牧師於2023年獲TFPC聘任，並於2023年11月19日正式封牧就任，持續牧養這個以神的愛和基督之名所建立的多元文化教會。
正如使徒保羅所教導的：「這樣看來，你們外邦人不再是外人或陌生人；你們是上帝子民的同胞，是上帝一家的人。跟猶太人一樣，你們也是建立在使徒和先知的基礎上，而基督耶穌自己是這家的基石。倚靠他，整座建築得以互相連接，逐漸擴大成為聖殿獻給主。倚靠他，你們也同被建造，成為上帝藉著聖靈居住的地方。（弗2:19-22）。」願我們在基督裡合而為一，以基督作為教會的基石，建立合一且符合上帝心意的教會。
