Denomination: Christian Church
In 1976 Dudley and Joyce were led by the Lord to start their own ministry in Toronto, Ontario. It was here they realized their mission and the beginnings of the bigger plans God had for them, as the Pentecostal Church of God had yet to have an ambassador for Christ within Canada. On February 24, 1977, the Pentecostal Church of God in Canada was established and Dudley and Joyce launched their ministry, Deliverance Temple PCOG, in the upper room of their house, the attic, with 12 members and PCOG Missionaries. With the growth of the congregation, the attic could no longer serve its purpose and they moved to a school, Pape P.S., while they raised funds to begin construction for a new building.
In the 1980s under the leadership of Dudley, construction began and a church was built at 89 Springview, Toronto, Ontario, and it was dedicated in September 1989. As the church continued to grow, souls were saved and the community was blessed with their outreach ministry. However, with all the successes of the church in this location, God had greater plans and the church began a building fund to build again. Over these years, while funds were being raised God began to use Dudley and Joyce to pioneer churches throughout Ontario with the development of the South Central Ontario District for PCOG and a National Office for the Pentecostal Church of God in Canada.
In January 2005, God planted them at their present location, 41 Torbarrie Road, and the Peoples Church in Toronto was later renamed Faith Worship Centre in 2010. With the vision of Dudley and Joyce, the leadership team, board and peoples church family it was time for expansion within FWC and renovations for expansion began July 2010. We are currently in our second phase of renovations with plans to be completed by the summer of 2016. This construction continues without any bank financing, as through corporate unity and giving God has moved upon His people to build a place for God worship.
Although, we may never know the exact plans God has for our lives, we do know that God’s purpose is for good (Jeremiah 29:11) and He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ever ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We encourage you to embrace all that God has in store for you, as His desire is to give you a future filled with hope. Come and fellowship with us and experience God in a new way, as we, FWC - The Peoples Church in Toronto, celebrate with thanksgiving all the blessings God has bestowed upon this church!
