In addition to offering a welcoming home for worship since 1818, Metropolitan serves our community by offering a variety of outreach services and programs. Met has been involved in social service downtown since 1917, long before government supports existed. Under our outreach umbrella, many programs today are run by church staff and volunteers, while others use our church facilities or receive other support. Most of our activities take place in the 11,000 sq. ft. Met Centre.
We would be most grateful this Christmas if you would consider a donation to help us in the work we will do in worship and outreach at the heart of downtown Toronto in 2024 and beyond. Thank you!
