Toronto Church Planting
Toronto Church Planting (TCP) is a Canadian registered charity (Business Registration Number: 802923201RR0001) focused on establishing and supporting new Baptist congregations in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Ontario. The organization assists church planters by handling administrative, financial, and legal frameworks, allowing planters to prioritize community outreach, discipleship, and leadership development[1][2].

Mission and Activities

TCP’s stated mission is to initiate a church-planting movement across the GTA, aiming to establish 250 "healthy, reproducing, significant congregations" by 2020, though subsequent progress toward this goal is unspecified in available sources. The charity provides training, resources, and mentorship to church planters while offering centralized infrastructure, including bookkeeping and partnership coordination, to streamline operations for new congregations[1][2].

Structure and Support

As a registered charity, TCP operates under a model designed to alleviate bureaucratic burdens for church planters. Approved planters join the organization’s charitable framework temporarily, utilizing its resources until their congregations achieve independent charitable status. This approach emphasizes sustainability and localized leadership development[1].

Recognition and Affiliation

While specific denominational partnerships are not detailed in public documentation, TCP’s activities align broadly with Baptist theological principles. The organization emphasizes collaborative efforts across the GTA, though it does not appear directly affiliated with international networks like Send Network, which operates similar initiatives in the United States[1][4].

Challenges and Expansion

TCP’s focus on rapid church multiplication involves addressing cultural diversity and logistical challenges in the densely populated GTA. The charity prioritizes contextual strategies to ensure new congregations remain relevant to their communities[1][2].
