A Message From TSP

Beloved, Welcome to our ‘Season of Caring.’ Each week during Worship you’ll hear from people who’ve been part of our TSP family for years and why they are. You’ll be able to enjoy food and friendship at Church and in our member’s own homes. All this is to demonstrate who we are. We are a place of radical hospitality. Radical hospitality and caring means building a deeply inclusive community that models, for the world, a new way of being. You’ll hear from those who’ve given much and received more. Christ calls us to hope, faith, joy, and love. Let’s learn how to live that out together. Our Season of Caring begins October 23rd with the theme “Walking over Rocky Ground”, inspired by Bruce Springsteen, it’s a recognition of our resiliency through the pandemic, our financial condition, and our optimism on the path forward – there’s a new day coming. Justice begins like this. It starts with all of us learning how to welcome and be welcomed across diversity, and sharing our gifts together. To succeed we need you. Be daring and caring! Much Love, Rev. Dr. Cheri Di Novo and Board Chair Ashwin Ranjit

Our Mission

Trinity-St. Paul’s United Church seeks to be an inclusive and affirming Christian community — living out our faith individually and in our life together, engaging the world locally and globally for the sake of justice and peace, and striving to be a centre for faith, justice and the arts.

Trinity-St. Paul’s United Church is an Affirming congregation of the United Church of Canada.

We believe that all persons are equal before God; that the miracle of God’s creation is manifested through our many differences; and that racism is a sin and violates God’s desire for humanity.

As a Centre for Faith, Justice and the Arts (CFJA) we are committed to:

  • Developing new partnerships with arts, justice and community groups.
  • Deepening our understanding of how faith, justice-making and artistic endeavours can interact and enliven one another and be a source of great creativity and hope.
  • Creating a place of hospitality and community.

Responsible Investing

Trinity-St. Paul’s manages an endowment fund which is held to support and enhance the operations and mission of the church. These funds are invested in four areas. A fossil free market fund that is screened against ESG (environmental, social, and governance) criteria.

  • A market fund specializing in the environmental sector.
  • Investments in global development through Oikocredit, an international ecumenical development cooperative society.
  • To support Indigenous social enterprise we have invested in the Raven Indigenous Impact Fund.
