The Ontario Government Covid-19 restrictions have begun easing and Toronto is currently in stage 2.
TCBC still remains closed as the church leadership continues to plan and develop the protocols required for a safe reopening. This includes making sure we have sufficient stocks of PPE, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies available as well as organizing seating to maintain proper social and physical distancing.
Our efforts are complicated by having three congregations resident in the church with many of our congregants in the “at risk” category.
We are tentatively targeting the middle of August to re-open for English Sunday worship. In order to help us with the planning, we have prepared a survey to help us in our preparations.

The survey will be using Google Forms and we plan to release it this week. If you don’t receive an email with the link on Monday (June 29) please contact Rev Nolan at nlee@tcbc.on.ca and he will send you the link. Please respond in a timely manner to enable us to complete our planning to meet our re-opening date.

Thank You. Keep Safe. And God Bless

Since the closing of TCBC due to the COVID-19 situation, we have been trying to find ways to connecting with, and continuing to support the congregation.

Up until now, we have been using the Zoom platform to meet online and posted the meeting information here on our website so people could join us. Unfortunately, some Zoom meetings have been disrupted by outsiders using inappropriate language and posting inappropriate pictures. Thankfully, we have been spared so far. But we are taking measures to prevent it as well.

We will continue to use Zoom for our on line gatherings and meetings, however, from this point on, all meeting information will only be posted to the TCBC English Congregation Facebook page. If you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently a member of the Facebook group, you can still request the information by email from Rev Nolan at nlee@tcbc.on.ca

Sunday Worship Service is currently being Live Streamed on the TCBC English Congregation Facebook page starting at our regular time of Sunday at 9:20 AM.  The sermon will be posted afterwards on the website Sermon page along with links to our past sermons.

Thank you for your understanding during this time and God Bless.

Dear All,

Our Deacon Board & Pastoral team had a long discussion
Friday night about the COVID-19 situation. We made the decisions below decisions to protect the church, and our brothers & sisters:

1. TCBC & TCGBC will stop Sunday Worship for Mar 22, Mar 29 & Apr 5. Apr 12 (Easter) Sunday is to be determined later based on the situation, updates & sermons will be posted on our website.

2. Mandarin Friday Worship, Friday night Children’s Programs and our Youth Programs will stop for Mar 20, Mar 27 & Apr 3.

3. Good Friday Service on Apr 10 is also cancelled.

Official announcements will be made this Sunday Mar 15 in all 4 congregations.

While we take the proper precautions, we rest in the hope and peace of a sovereign God. We trust Him in all things as we navigate our lives, our families and churches through these challenging times.

The Lord is our ultimate source of comfort and guidance. We thank Him for the opportunity that He gives us to be ambassadors of Jesus in loving our neighbours well and showing compassion.

As we embrace the Lord and His Word, let us pray for the world and each other. We’re confident our Mighty God will be magnified through His beloved people through this trial time.

Love in Christ,

TCBC leadership
