In-house worship has resumed on Sundays at 11:15 AM
Zoom worship will also remain an option.

The S. family are Hazara – a persecuted ethnic and religious minority – and are currently residing in Pakistan living in fear for their safety.

Glebe Road United is sponsoring the S. family to come to Canada where they can live a life free of persecution and one where their four daughters can go to school. We are asking for your financial donation to bring the S. family to Canada.

No one should live in fear because of who they are and where they were born. You can give directly to our refugee fund by scanning the QR code below or visiting (website). Thank you for helping us to change the lives of nine people.

If you are looking for a warm spiritual family, come on Sundays to our inspiring 11:15am services, with coffee and fellowship to follow. We are only steps from Yonge and Davisville and have parking/wheelchair accessibility. P.S. The Sunday School rocks

Glebe road is a warm, engaging church led by a hip, forward thinking minister. Music leads the way through the services with everyone from dogs, children and elders joining in. Rich in tradition and active in outreach, it is a place where I feel at peace. And it’s fun!
