Church of the Resurrection
Anglican Church
The Church of the Resurrection is an Anglican church located in Toronto’s East End, and founded over 100 years ago by neighbours who had a big vision for this neighbourhood. For many decades, the church experienced phenomenal growth, with hundreds of kids showing up every week for Sunday School.
Declining attendance in the 80s and 90s led to a core, dedicated congregation who in 2000 faced a tough decision: continued decline or … what exactly. And so they embarked on a remarkable journey when the Rev. Duke Vipperman, along with a tithe of families and members from Toronto’s Little Trinity Church, and another set of the adventurous from all across the city came to reboot the Rez, starting an extraordinary experiment we are still on today
The Rez continues to experiment and grow, with a deep commitment to being a parish in the neighbourhood, for the neighbourhood, with the neighbourhood and of the neighbourhood. We believe God is deeply at work here, and we have a deep calling to join Him on the journey in Toronto’s East. Our worship is informal and rooted in Anglican traditions. We value preaching, biblical teaching for all ages, liturgical worship (with broad musical expressions) and prayer.
Our mission: To Know Christ & to Make Him Known. God has preserved us so that, gathering in worship, we may proclaim good news to our neighbours.
Our vision Excelling In Hospitality and Making Followers of Jesus Today
Our core values: Pursuing Spirituality. Community, Justice, Beauty as we Serve, Connect, Grow, and Share
Service Times
Sundays
8:30 AM — This quiet, contemplative, eucharistic (communion) service is short and peaceful. Together we sing one traditional hymn and follow the rhythms of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. There is no kids’ ministry during this service but children are always welcome.
10:30 AM — Our largest Sunday gathering and celebration, we follow a pattern of worship which includes Bible readings, contemporary and traditional music, relevant preaching and community prayer. We often have communion. This service has full kids’ ministry available for kids 0-grade 8 as well as Junior and Senior Youth Group for Grades 6 through 12. We also have intentional intergenerational gatherings throughout the year.
Listen to our latest sermons here.
Evenings – We gather monthly for evening Taize song and prayer. Also, there are additional opportunities for creative worship, prayer and music throughout the year.
Most of our Sunday morning services follow an Anglican liturgy and we believe that the content of our worship is what is pleasing to God. The form of our music, and the band that leads it, varies from week-to-week (or song-to-song) but our primary concern is in supporting our communal life with a worshipful experience that engages our cultural expression of love for God.
Due to Covid-19 our in-person Sunday services are cancelled. We are planning to live-stream the service.
