our location and time

We worship at Gibson Centre (the gymnasium) at 11 a.m. (105 Gibson Dr., Markham). 

ON CHILDREN AND YOUTH MINISTRY

LTC offers a variety of programs for children in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6. They will join their parents at 11 am until they are dismissed to Room 111. This ministry is run by screened, trained, and eager volunteers who love and care for our children. All children need to be registered at the desk in the hallway before the service begins, and they should be picked up no later than 12:20 pm.

Teens from grades 7 to 12  will join the adults to worship on Sundays. They are also invited to join Anchor (our youth ministry), which meets twice a month. For more information, please email anchor@lighthousetoronto.ca.

Please note that on the first Sunday of every month, we have a congregation worship where children will join us for the whole service to worship together.

ON BAPTISM

Baptism is a sacrament ordained by Jesus Christ as a sign and seal of the covenant of grace for believers. It displays the embracing of the Gospel - initial forgiveness and cleansing from sin, faith and repentance, the new life of the new birth, and being in union with Christ. It also acts as an entrance into the full fellowship of the visible church. Baptism is to be administered only once in a person’s lifetime. You should be baptized if you have repented of your sins and trusted in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and his resurrection from the dead.

ON MEMBERSHIP 

Membership will allow you to become a vital and active part of our growing community, with great privileges and responsibilities. Please note that you must be baptized to take the class, which is offered twice a year.

ON THE LORD’S SUPPER

We celebrate the Lord’s Supper weekly at LTC as a demonstration and remembrance of the perfect life and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ for us. We believe that this is an important ordinary means of God’s grace to His church that visibly symbolizes the beauty of the Gospel. These ordinary things, bread and juice, when consumed in faith, will lead to a powerful experience of the Gospel. 

Some might say, “Why so often?” First, we believe that there is strong evidence of a pattern of weekly observance in the New Testament (Acts 2:42; 1 Corinthians 11:20, 25). Second, we believe that we would benefit more from the regular use of the Christ-ordained means for reminding us of the cross than not. The Lord’s Table will invite the believers to focus on the cross of Christ and His return as our hope and joy.

Then, if you have put your faith in Jesus Christ and have been baptized, we welcome you to join us at the table. If you are not yet a Christian, we ask that you refrain from taking communion. Your children can join us to observe but not participate.
