Constantine, 1,720 Years Later

When church and state collide, faith rarely comes out unchanged. From Constantine's landmark decree in 321 AD to modern legal battles in classrooms today, history reveals a sobering truth: when religious devotion is backed by civil law, genuine conviction is replaced by political compliance.

Scripture points us toward a better way, a faith rooted in love and freedom of conscience rather than government force. We invite you to join us this Sabbath to study God's Word, worship freely, and experience the peace of a community centred on Christ's true kingdom.

The Truth About Soy

Walk down the milk aisle today, and soy milk is often crowded out by newer trends like almond and oat milk. Ask around, and you will likely hear alarming claims that soy causes cancer, disrupts hormones, or wrecks your thyroid. Are these fears justified, or is soy simply a victim of bad science? In this article, we trace these common scares back to their sources to separate myth from reality, revealing how minimally processed, organic soy can actually be a powerful ally for your health.

Discovering the truth about how to care for our bodies is a vital part of living a abundant, wholesome life. We warmly invite you to join our church community this Sabbath as we fellowship, study scripture, and learn more about God's design for our health and well-being. We would love to welcome you!

Christ Object Lessons: The Pearl

What are you searching for to satisfy the deepest longings of your soul? This week we continue Ellen G. White's Christ Object Lessons where she beautifully unpacks the parable of the merchantman, revealing that Jesus Christ is our Pearl of Great Price, a flawless treasure that outshines everything this world has to offer.

Remarkably, this chapter reminds us that the parable works both ways: while we seek Him, Christ also looks at fallen humanity and considers us a treasure worth sacrificing everything to redeem. 

Are you ready to surrender the ordinary to gain the extraordinary? We invite you to join our church family this Sabbath as we fellowship, study God's Word, and seek the true riches of His love together.

Beat The Heat

Summer is in full swing, and with Toronto already experiencing its second extreme heat alert of the month, we want to ensure everyone has the tools to stay safe. We are reprinting this helpful guide from last year to remind our community of the best ways to cool down, stay hydrated, and look out for one another during these soaring temperatures.

UPDATED 2026: Due to the current wild fires, we have also updated the information below to include tips for when air quality is poor.

Was Peter Really the First Pope?

This week marks a major milestone in Christian history: the anniversary of Justin I being crowned Byzantine Emperor by the patriarch of Constantinople. For Seventh-day Adventists, the reign of Justin I and the legal framework he set in motion hold massive significance in our understanding of Bible prophecy, marking the early structural shift that elevated the bishop of Rome and laid the groundwork for centuries of ecclesiastical dominance. While history and prophecy show us how this institutional power was established on earth, it forces us to ask a deeper, foundational question about the theological claim behind it: Did Jesus actually establish a supreme human head over His church?

It was this very history that inspired this week’s study, where we will examine the foundational claim that Peter was the first pope by letting Scripture interpret Scripture to see who the true "Rock" really is. We invite you to dive into this study with an open heart, and we would love to have you join us this Sabbath morning at church as we fellowship together, study the Word, and lift up our only true Head and Foundation, Jesus Christ. See you there!
