I have really enjoyed connecting to the family of TICC and made some very positive and I hope long lasting connections. However, I was looking forward to February 2018 to see how the International Centre would honour the contributions of African Canadians through celebratory services, as they did a couple years ago, and honoured the Chinese New Year through song.
I am however, optimistic about Pastor Nathan's suggestions to promote more black leadership at TICC through initiating church swapping with a well known black pastor in the city of Toronto, thus given opportunity for African Americans to preach at TICC and vice versa, I think it is a fantastic idea, although it would have been nice witnessing this suggestion materializing during black history.
Since 2016 I had exchanged the contact information of a black pastor in the city of Toronto to preach at the International Celebration Church, for this exchange to take place.... to date, I have not had a response from the senior pastor or the pastoral team.
However, I am confident that one day this dream will be a reality, just like it was with the dreams of the late God fearing Doctor Martin Luther King.
It was blessing listing to the first in house person of colour preach the word on a recent Sunday afternoon...wow!! The best is yet to come through the love of Jesus, for all who love his word at Toronto International Celebration Church and...
Read moreMy reviews speak for itself! Bad or Good you will see how thoroughly I explain. If I am wrong please let me know. 💕💕💕 I know this place for 21 years. I attend as I can. People are warm, sweet, open, greeters and welcome anyone walk in the church. I read some negative comments about this place. No one force you to do anything. Yes of course, there ate multiple ways to pay your tithe and offering to the Lord and the church is obligated to spend it wisely. It is up to us How much you want to give. God Love Cheerful Givers. It is a place of worship for anyone like Jews, Muslim, Buddhist, Hendo (India), atheists and anyone who wants to take the pain off their shoulders, we give our Problems to God and Jesus Take care of it and we don't look back. Everyone is welcome to examine by yourself not buy someone who just wants to criticize. We have to learn to choose Peace, positivity, and self-control. Please Read 1 Corinthian 13. Church is about self seeking with God, Jesus and the Holy spirit. Church is not about finding fault in others but finding the Faults in ourselves. We have to be vigilant and have the spirit of discernment to see right from wrong. God Bless you All. Peace...
Read moreWent there for a play for the first time for Easter. Expected something great. Ended up to be a bunch of high school kids just pretending to party, which had nothing to do with Easter.Kept showing celebrities that died from drug overdose and mental health issues. What does that have to do with Easter? In addition the church is run by a father and son which both are business oriented and encouraged and pushed people to give Financially. The father even mentioned there is an ATM in the lobby of the church. Also had a raffle, is gambling allowed at church? Especially in a pentecostal denomination? Overall, was extremely disappointed and confused as to what the message of the service was supposed to be. Son seemed phoney. Seemed like the service was more about money, and self recognition and other random things than it was about God. Will not be visiting...
