Religious InstitutionsOntario, Canada11-50 Employees
St. Paul’s Bloor Street is a Christian community based in a historic building in downtown Toronto, serving a citywide congregation within the Religious Institutions sector. The group describes itself as growing and dynamic, with members seeking to live out their faith in daily life—at work, at home, and in interactions with friends and family—across the city. As a small to mid-sized organization anchored in downtown Toronto, it emphasizes its broad community reach beyond the physical building. Recent developments include the 2023 launch of the Ministry Apprenticeship Program, aimed at leadership development, stewardship of resources, and supporting the planting of a new church at St. George by the Grange. In 2022, Rev. Dr. John Oakes was appointed as Honorary Assistant. In December 2024, St. Paul’s Bloor Street announced the Prayer Bear initiative, a outreach effort providing teddy bears with handwritten prayers to local families, children in need, and those in foster care.
