Church School Sundays at 11am

September - June

In-person Church School is offered September - June. Please bring your kids with you to church at 11am. They'll go out with Ann Fraser, a certified Early Childhood Educator, about 10 minutes after the beginning of the Worship Service.

Over the summer months we take a break from church school programming, but we continue to offer basic child care with a certified Early Childhood Educator.

Thanks for Supporting our "Little Free Pantry"

Our Little Pantry is emptied and refilled almost every day of the year. Drop by and check it out!

Most people think of Forest Hill as a neighbourhood of leafy trees, detached homes and people earning high incomes. What many people do not realize is that Forest Hill is also home to people on fixed incomes, immigrants and people who do not earn high salaries. These people may live in a home on a leafy street, an apartment building or in Toronto Community Housing. A characteristic they all share is the fact inflation is creating financial stress in their lives and may be contributing to food insecurity.

We are Accessible!

Did you know that Forest Hill United Church was built in 1940. Imagine trying to raise money for a church during world war II.

During the next 86 years the church went through a variety of renovations and an extensive addition around 1960 where the sanctuary was expanded and the new front entrance was built.

Our latest addition is the elevator, which is now operational.
Our church is now wheel accessible from the parking lot to all the floors and we have some accessible washrooms too.

Come in and take a look.

Forest Hill United Church - Living Faith Story 

Forest Hill United Church is an intercultural community, created from several Christian denominations, and many socio-economic statuses. We come to church from throughout the city. Our diversity is our strength; we accept our differences and share this important aspect of who we are.

Our small welcoming community is created from incredible individuals who care and accept each other with listening ears, compassion and acceptance of our evolving church family. We walk together through all types of experiences, so we never need to walk alone. Our community is responsive to each member’s choice of orientation, gender, neurodiversity status and to those individuals seeking or questioning in their lives. Our care for each other is evident in how we look out for and support each other and support our church as our first and last home in Christ.

Jesus, spoke through parables, metaphors and used vivid imagery to convey difficult truths. Through symbolism, we liken ourselves to a honeybee hive, a small but mighty community, filled with worker bees in unity and cooperation working together for common good, just as followers of Jesus are called to work in unity. We seek pastoral guidance and leadership to continue our faith journey within our community.

P.S. The 🐝 bee emoji carries rich symbolism representing hard work, productivity, sweetness, community, and environmental awareness. These are some of our values.

"A Season for Delight"

This week, as we enter into the many season of spring... I invite the congregation into finding time for taking delight! My mother often used to say as both invitation and warning, “What get’s your attention gets you!” I wonder how our lives would be transformed if we decided to deliberately and regularly take time to put our attention on those things which bring us delight? What if we were to make this a regular Spiritual Practice… or a regular habit, if you will!

What is getting most of your attention in these days? How are these things shaping and forming your experience of life… and you yourself as a person?

Early Christian Theologian, Iraneas once wrote, “The Glory of God is the person fully alive.” What brings you alive? What if we were to allow delight to take hold of us, to shape us, form us, and bring us fully alive?

Our creation story claims that with each act of creation, God paused, appreciated what had taken shape, and pronounced it Good. Step outside, pause, look around you what do you see that might bring you delight?
