Mission

Toronto, Canada and the World

Living in the wonderfully diverse city of Toronto we are uniquely placed to live out the vision of “Gathering the nations to reach the nations.”  We are working to see this happen through each of us personally, through ministries designed to serve our community and in partnership with other Christian ministries. Immanuel supports with prayer and finances the work of various ministries as well as long and short-term missionaries in several countries.
