Stonegate Ministry was founded in 1991 by a group of clergy and committed Christians from the Sunnylea and Humber Bay area. They came together to develop a shared vision and to play an active role in the Stonegate area in order to meet the physical, social and spiritual needs evidenced in the community. This partnership of local churches of different denominations has continued since the inception of the Ministry. The core clientele for Stonegate Ministry’s work are two communities-in-need, located in the southeast of Etobicoke: Approximately 8,000 families who live in the 79 low-rise apartment buildings in the Berry Rd.- Stonegate neighbourhood, and the 2,500 lower-income families living in rental units along Lake Shore Blvd. West in Etobicoke.

The work of Stonegate Ministry is faithfully supported by individuals, partners and national churches. Stonegate Ministry is united in the vision of expanding God’s Kingdom by working together to build a stronger, kinder and more just community. The Ministry is now a registered charity and serves the community from its temporary location at Christ Church St. James Anglican Church (194 Park Lawn Rd.) in south Etobicoke.

VISION: “Working together to build a stronger, kinder and more just community.”

MISSION: “Stonegate Ministry is an alliance of local Christian churches working in partnership with the community through shared resources, offering programs and opportunities to build healthy relationships, strong families, and a sense of belonging and a deeper relationship with God. This Ministry endeavours to address the needs of the whole person and families to bridge toward a better life and to be a faithful voice to ensure everyone in the community is treated with justice and Christian compassion.” For more details about this ministry, click here.
