Community

Sanctuary Quiet Play Area

Sundays 10 a.m. Small children are welcome to remain in the sanctuary during services. We have a play area set up for children and their caregivers where you can park your stroller, look through books, play quietly with toys, and colour.

Sunday School

Sundays 10 a.m. Redeemer Lutheran offers Sunday School every 2nd Sunday during the school year for children aged 4 and up. Sunday School runs during in-person worship service. Together, kids of all ages learn and experience messages of love, acceptance and service. Please email to learn more.

Youth and Young Adult Group

Wednesdays 7 to 8:30 p.m. For youth and young adults aged 9 and up, Redeemer Lutheran’s Youth and Young Adult Group meets during the school year to enjoy movies, play games, discuss topics of the day, and share ideas. We have found a wide variety of ways to stay connected and have fun. Register to participate on Zoom.

Thursdays at 1 p.m. Redeemer Lutheran hosts a weekly community group that follows the meditation practices of World Community for Christian Meditation. Our sessions include a guided 20-minute meditation followed by discussion. This group currently meets only online. Register to participate on Zoom.

Consider Redeemer Lutheran part of the neighbourhood! We invite the community to get to know our space and encourage suggestions for both private rental and community activities.

OUTSIDE we welcome visitors to respectfully enjoy our greenspace and picnic table – and the sledding hill in winter.

INSIDE we have a large hall which seats 100 and a smaller room with a kitchenette; both are available for rent. Insurance is required and new uses must coordinate with existing church, daycare and tenant groups.

The church is easily accessed on foot and by bike, car and transit. Contact our Pastor by email or call 416.766.1424 for rental availability and rates, and to share your ideas.

Food insecurity is at crisis levels in our neighbourhood – and across Toronto.  The mini pantry movement is a grassroots solution.  Whether you need food or you have food to give, stop by the free pantry on our lawn.  Please contact our Pastor by email or call 416.766.1424 to learn more.

Combine friendship, stewardship and cooking! We have partnered with All Saints Kingsway Anglican Church for 15+ years as part of an interfaith ministry to the homeless to prepare soup for 100 people weekly during the 20-week soup-kitchen season. For more information, contact our Pastor by email or call 416.766.1424.

Calling all green thumbs! Join the community volunteers who make up this non-denominational group that provides fresh herbs and vegetables for local food programs.

Active for 13+ years, The Garden Party uses organic horticultural methods in its Giving Garden in Redeemer Lutheran’s side yard. Over 650 pounds of organic vegetables and herbs are donated annually to the Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre and St. Francis Table. Watch our 2020 video to see this incredible group in action. Please email The Garden Party to learn more.

Be a part of changing lives. For many years, Redeemer has supported refugee sponsorship efforts.  The West End Interfaith Refugee Support is a partnership of four faith communities in Toronto’s west end – including Redeemer – responding to the global migration crisis by raising funds and organizing to sponsor refugees.
