Nature-based worship & community in the heart of downtown Toronto
Wild Church that lives at the intersection of emerging eco-spiritually and the timeless ways of Jesus. Our monthly gatherings offer opportunities for contemplation, grief and praise, movement and song, solo wandering and wondering on behalf of and in collaboration with the beloved others in our watershed. In this age defined by habitat loss and disconnection to the natural world, we feel compelled by the love of Christ to invite each other into intimate relationship with some of the most vulnerable victims of our destructive culture: the land, waters, and creatures with whom we share our homes. You can learn more about the Wild Church network here.
We gather rain or shine or snow on the second Thursday of each month from September to June. Please note: our location will vary from month, so please see the calendar, or contact Rev. Jason for details.
