HOW WE FORMED

The East End United regional ministry came about in 2018 as a partnership between the Cosburn, Glen Rhodes, and Eastminster United Churches. These three charges chose in June 2017 to chart a new path that would allow them to define the legacy of their individual churches  and become an agile, creative ministry that is responsive to opportunities arising from the relationships built within our neighbourhoods.

The discussions that led to this new form of ministry began over a decade ago and involved a number of United Church congregations in the east end of Toronto that chose not to continue in this project at this time. One of the principles of the new regional ministry reflected in this constitution is the concept that we will welcome and embrace new congregations as members of this ministry, giving others the opportunities to bring and amplify their gifts of ministry.
