About Us

We are a community of born-again believers dedicated to exalting Christ. We believe in the faithful study and exposition of God’s Word. We want to bring glory to God by proclaiming his goodness through our words and actions. We are committed to growing in the knowledge and love of God. This is done through faithful biblical instruction and caring fellowship so we can become better witnesses wherever we are. We are also committed to Christ-centered, gospel-filled worship and preaching. Our desire is for people to know God's grace.

Pastor RJ (or "PRJ" to some) came as our associate pastor in 2011 and became our lead pastor in 2013. He pastored Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Kingston, Jamaica, where he and his wife Joëlle (who's from the French island of Martinique) had their two boys before moving to Toronto to serve as an assistant pastor at Jarvis Street Baptist Church in 2007. A Chemistry graduate who wishes he'd studied English Lit, he obtained an M.Div. From Toronto Baptist Seminary and his D.Min. from Talbot School of Theology (Biola University). He now leads a family of five with their friendly, energetic toddler.
