Welcome to GCI Toronto East!
If you find yourself weary of a world filled with desensitized materialism, judgmental religion, unreliable information, and unfulfilling relationships, we invite you to join us at GCI Toronto East, where you can find genuine connection and understanding.
“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners,” Jesus shared with the religious authorities of his time. His first true followers were a diverse group of soul-wounded individuals who often faced rejection from those who deemed themselves righteous. It was Jesus’s unwavering grace, profound love, deep understanding, and boundless compassion that beckoned these disciples to him, offering them a refuge and hope amidst their struggles.
He came to reveal that God the Father does not harbor anger toward us for our inability to “be good” and serve Him. Jesus came with a message of inclusion, love, and acceptance from the Father, reminding us that even amidst our brokenness, we are cherished. He assures us that through Him, our lives can be transformed, allowing us to experience the profound love and unity shared between Him and the Father in the Holy Spirit (John 14:20).
At Grace Communion International, we recognize that being a follower of Christ transcends following rules, regulations, or lists of dos and don’ts; we’ve experienced that difficult path and understand the challenges it brings. It’s not about achieving perfection through our own efforts to earn God’s approval. Instead, we find comfort in the depth of God the Father’s passionate love, who offered his only Son for us, even before we acknowledged our struggles and vulnerabilities.
We believe that the living Christ is actively guiding his people today through his Holy Spirit, transforming lives and extending compassion to the sick, the needy, and yes, even to sinners often marginalized by society. God genuinely cares about mending fractured relationships and healing wounded hearts. He accomplishes this through this imperfect yet fervent community of individuals whom He lovingly calls His children, His Church.
We genuinely believe that no matter what has happened in your past, there is always a warm and welcoming place for you in the body of Christ, and perhaps that place is right here with us. We would be truly delighted to hear from you and are more than happy to share our spiritual journey with you, offering support and understanding every step of the way.
