First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto

We are a religious community that seeks to embody respect and care for people and the planet. Sunday services begin at 10:30 am

We are:
A spiritual community that practices respect for other faiths, reason, tolerance and love. A place for you to share your questions, doubts and dreams for a better world. A place for you to meet others who care deeply about our world and about each other. A place where your kids can be themselves and learn to make ethical choices — in a safe, supportive and fun-filled environment.

"As Canadian Unitarians our interdependence calls us to love and justice. Love and justice. Love asks us to enlarge the circle over and over again, until all are welcome."

On Sunday, April 26, after three years of interim ministry, the congregation voted overwhelmingly in favour of calling Rev. Alex Jensen as our twenty-third settled minister. Alex’s passion for connection and dedication to building Beloved Community make him a perfect fit for our growing congregation. Alex's contract begins in August, and we'll welcome him to the pulpit in September. A huge thank you to the Ministerial Search Committee and to all who took part in the candidating week activities!
