Toronto Emmanuel Church is an Ethnic-Chinese church-in-planting in Toronto, actively seeking ways to share the Good News of our Lord through words and deeds. Beginning in 2007, it is our mission to reach the non-churched in Toronto and to make disciples and to grow in a manner that expresses the loving and longing heart of God for those who are separated from Jesus Christ and His Church.
