As an Association of Fellowship churches in Toronto, we believe God is calling us to seek the peace and prosperity of our city (Jeremiah 29:7).

In order to do this, we will, with God’s help:

1. Recruit and train workers for urban ministry

• Invest in new leaders for urban ministry (internships, scholarships, partnering with seminaries for urban training)
• Enhance existing leaders through leadership development in urban ministry
• Assist search committees in recruiting workers for an urban setting

2. Renew existing churches

• Share resources and pulpit supply
• Provide pastoral accountability and encouragement
• Develop a strategy for churches in decline

3. Reach our city

• Develop a vision for church planting within Toronto
• Establish new urban ministries
• Partner as an Association in specific projects

• Participate in regional and national councils, and in the Fellowship urban ministry initiative
• Raise the importance of urban ministry within the Fellowship

The Toronto Association's greatest desire is to pursue God's purpose for our Association for His glory and the good of Toronto. This may in turn lead to structural change, especially where greater resources and personnel will be needed in the future.

With God's help, we look forward to the time when the Toronto Association is comprised of churches that understand their calling to Toronto and are serving their communities with faithful gospel ministry, training workers for urban ministry, partnering with other churches, sharing resources, and planting churches within Toronto.
