Mission Prayer meeting – November 27, 8:00 PM

This month, we are praying over Power2Change. Graham and Jen Watt will be speaking at our prayer meeting to share more about the ministry and how we can support them.

Christmas Service – December 21, 9:45AM

We will be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on Saturday, December 21, 9:45 AM. During our
Christmas service, we will be singing Christmas Carols and hearing stories of God’s redeeming work. Our Children’s Ministry will also be hosting a special program for the kids while the adults hear God-Stories and receive a short message.

After our service, we will be hosting a Meet & Greet with refreshments from 11:15 AM – 12:30 PM. It will be an excellent opportunity to invite your friends and family to not only hear about God’s goodness, but to connect them with others in this faith community.

Online Giving/Tithing

Offering is a privilege and responsibility for members. Our encouragement is for each member to prayerfully seek God’s guidance for how they ought to be giving in this season. All offering goes towards funding ministries locally and globally. 

We encourage the congregation to apply for a personal offering number to allow efficient and accurate recording of offering information. We encourage the congregation to offer online through e-transfer or online banking. If you choose to give offering via cheque, we ask that you write the church’s full name “North Toronto Chinese Baptist Church”. The banks no longer accept the short form NTCBC as a valid payee.

For more details on online giving, including how to add NTCBC as an ‘online bill payee’,  click here.
