East Toronto BIC is a church where people are rooted in Jesus and connected in community, to reveal God's Kingdom on earth.
Our Values:
Apprenticeship: as followers of Jesus, we become more like him every day as we are transformed by his Spirit.
Peace: We pursue peace in love, aiming for unity (not uniformity) as we love like Jesus.
Mission: Led by the Spirit, we do the good works that God has prepared for us to do.
Generosity: We share extravagantly as stewards of everything God has given us.
We are a part of the Be In Christ Church of Canada and hold to their articles of faith & doctrine.
