Welcome to Rosedale Presbyterian Church (RPC)!

Founded in 1908, Rosedale Presbyterian Church is a vibrant, inclusive congregation dedicated to making a practical and spiritual impact in the Toronto community. We serve as a hub for outreach, supporting families, youth, and older adults across the city.

Your Impact: Programs We Support

Your participation in the Gala directly sustains these essential community programs:

  • The Homework Program: Leading a multi-congregation coalition to provide academic support to children in the St. James Town neighbourhood.

  • Evangel Hall Support: Long-time supporters of this downtown charity, where our members prepare and serve meals to assist those in subsidized housing and vital community services.

  • On-Site Community Hub: Our facilities house several key programs, including:

    • Let's Grow: A supportive program for approximately 25 adults with developmental, intellectual, and physical disabilities, promoting independence through art, music, and cooking.

    • Early Childhood Programs: Full-day pre-school and day-care programmes for about 30 children in our Sunday School rooms.

  • Arts & Culture: Providing rehearsal space for ensembles like the Penthelia Singers and the Nawa Choir (a Syrian choir), and hosting Scottish Country Dancing classes for children and adults.
