In his early twenties, Pastor Brendan planted Church Without Limits—an “outside-the-box” congregation that began as a youth Bible study in a motorcycle shop. Pastor Sharon soon joined him, and after they were married, they faithfully led the church together, gaining invaluable experience in preaching, leadership, and pastoral care.
In 2013, they 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.
Brendan and Sharon have been married since 2005 and have two children, Micah and Shiloh. They lead with passion, integrity, and a deep commitment to seeing lives transformed by the power of God.
Toronto City Church was founded in 1988 as Covenant Christian Church by Pastors Paul and Elaine Yuke. Moving from Halifax, Nova Scotia, they carried a vision to plant a church centered on worship, prayer, the next generation, and a heart for the nations. Under their leadership, the church quickly grew 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, entrusting leadership to their son, Pastor Steven, and his wife, Pastor Katherine. During their time, the church continued to grow and move forward, including the purchase and development of its current facility at 36 Curity Avenue.
Accepting the call, they led the merger of Church Without Limits and Toronto City Church, forming one united congregation. Since then, they have faithfully served and continue to lead the church forward with vision and purpose.
We are deeply thankful for our rich heritage of faith and remain expectant for all that God has ahead as we move forward together.
