At Toronto International Celebration Church, we believe that we love because God first loved us. This extends to all people. Join us Sundays at 10:30am/2:30pm.

"The gifts create unity around the work of the ministry. When we use our gifts in love, they create unity around Jesus Christ. The gifts are meant to be used in relationship with each other." Pastor Nathan Thurber
"God granted us gifts to enable, help, empower & strengthen us. These gifts express God's love toward us and through us to other people." Pastor Nathan Thurber
