WHO WE ARE
We are a Jesus-centered church affiliated with the Eastern Ontario District of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. We have existed in the heart of North York for 15 years as a satellite church of Agincourt Pentecostal Church and were set in order as an autonomous church within the PAOC in March 2018.
Our identity is found in Christ
We serve our city and our congregation through the preaching of the Word of God; we celebrate the transformation of faith through water baptism and observe the good and beautiful gift of the sacraments through communion.
Our dreams and aspirations
We want to see individual lives changed and we want to help carry the loving and life-changing Gospel to the city for its renewal and transformation. We seek to love and serve our neighbours with joy and grace.
Our culture
The Gospel is dynamic and vibrant and so is the culture of Parkway Forest Community Church. We believe that the Living Word of God, the Gospel transcends our diverse backgrounds and has the power to shape who we are and all that we do. (Romans 12)
