History

Founded in 1892 within the Methodist Church, the Toronto United Church Council has served the church and society within the City of Toronto and York Region since its inception. In 1992 Council's mandate was expanded to include all of the Presbyteries within Toronto Conference. You are invited to read Empowering our Church to Dream - Enabling it to Serve written by Alanna Mitchell.

In the Partnerships & Council At Work sections of our website, we introduce you to Council and to some of the personalities and projects that make it an integral part of a vital institution. As our United Church responds to the ministry and mission challenges of the 21st Century, we look forward to continued strong partnerships with Toronto Conference, its presbyteries and with revitalizing congregations from Owen Sound to Scarborough and from Brampton to Huntsville.

The Toronto United Church Council works with more than 300 congregations and mission units, 4 presbyteries and with Toronto Conference itself to promote the development of our church. It is responsible for gathering the knowledge and some of the finances needed for this development. For 117 years, its work has helped congregations realize their dreams.
