Who We Are

Our Mission: Know God, and Make Him Known

Our Core Values

Creativity – God has blessed us with a grace for creativity, and we intentionally lean into it in all that we do.
 
Stewardship – Stewardship is the wise management of what has been entrusted to us. This is Jesus’ Church—not ours—and we are committed to being faithful with everything He gives us.
 
Legacy – Legacy is about building something that is passed on to the next generation. We are called to build, to invest in raising up the next generation, and to intentionally build with the future in mind.
 

Cultural Pillars

Integrity – we will do what is right, regardless of the cost.
 
Generosity – we commit to live with radical generosity—giving freely of our time, resources, and finances.
 
Humility – we choose to serve all people and to “consider others better than ourselves.” We remain teachable and open to growth.
 
Ownership – we take responsibility for what we do and strive to give our very best. We lead with a shepherd’s heart, not as hired hands.
 
Love Expressed – we are committed to walking in love—treating one another with honour, resolving differences and offenses in a biblical way, and doing unto others as we would have them do unto us.

Meet the Pastors

Pastors Brendan and Sharon Witton serve together as the Lead Pastors of Toronto City Church.
 
Pastor Brendan is a seasoned Christian leader, speaker, and teacher with over two decades of ministry experience. A gifted communicator, he brings a fresh and relevant approach to biblical teaching, inspiring people of all ages and backgrounds to live out God’s purpose for their lives. In addition to pastoring, he has taught at a local Bible college, mentors leaders, and serves as the President of Ministers Network Canada.
 
Pastor Sharon is a respected Christian leader in her own right, serving both Toronto City Church and the broader body of Christ. She carries a strong prophetic gift and a deep passion for the nations, women, and the next generation. In addition to her role at TCC, she travels and speaks, mentors leaders, and serves on the boards of several organizations, including Alpha Canada and Culture Changers.
In his early twenties, Pastor Brendan planted Church Without Limits, an “outside-the-box” congregation that grew out of a youth Bible study held in a motorcycle shop. Pastor Sharon soon joined him, and after they were married, they faithfully led Church Without Limits together—gaining invaluable experience in preaching, leadership, and pastoral care.
 
In 2013, Pastors Brendan and Sharon were invited by Toronto City Church to step into the role of Lead Pastors and to merge Church Without Limits with TCC as one united congregation. They answered the call, and under their leadership, Toronto City Church has continued to grow and thrive—reaching the city of Toronto and beyond with a message of hope and transformation. They serve with passion, integrity, and wisdom.
 
Pastors Brendan and Sharon have been married since 2005 and have two children, Micah and Shiloh.

Our Story

Toronto City Church was founded in 1988 as Covenant Christian Church by Pastors Paul and Elaine Yuke. They moved to Toronto from Halifax, Nova Scotia, with a vision to plant a church centered on worship, prayer, the next generation, and a heart for the nations. Under their leadership, TCC grew quickly into a diverse congregation with a deep love for the city.
 
In the early 2000s, Pastors Paul and Elaine transitioned into a more apostolic role and entrusted the leadership of the congregation to their son, Pastor Steven, and his wife, Pastor Katherine. Under their leadership, TCC continued to move forward and oversaw the purchase and development of the church’s current facilities at 36 Curity Avenue.
In 2013, Pastors Steve and Katherine sensed God’s call into a new season of church planting and invited Pastors Brendan and Sharon Witton to step into the role of Lead Pastors at Toronto City Church. At the time, Pastors Brendan and Sharon were leading Church Without Limits, a congregation they had planted in 2000 in the back of a motorcycle shop.
 
This “outside-the-box” community began with Saturday night services that attracted many young people, who grew and matured together as they journeyed in faith.
 
Pastors Brendan and Sharon accepted the call and led the merger of Church Without Limits and Toronto City Church, becoming “Toronto City Church — a Church Without Limits.” Since that time, they have faithfully served TCC and continue to lead the church forward.
 
We are deeply thankful for our rich heritage of faith and remain expectant for all that God has ahead as we continue to move forward together.
