In Christ,
in this place,
with these people,
you have found a home.
A Christian Community
The Church of the Transfiguration is a growing community of Jesus’ followers seeking to bring new people into Christian life. Located in the heart of Davisville Village in uptown Toronto, members of our community gather for worship at Transfiguration on Sundays and Thursdays, but live out our Christian faith across the entire GTA throughout the week. We seek to follow Jesus, welcome the stranger, seek peace in our city, celebrate diversity, and live out the Kingdom of God. Transfiguration is a church rooted in the Anglican tradition and is one of over two hundred churches in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto.
A Story that Transforms
As a Christian community, we profess a belief in the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. We believe that relationship with Jesus and living as his disciples has the power to transform the life of our community and the life of the world.
We believe that our story (both as individuals and as a community) intersects with God’s story found in the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. We read and study the Scriptures so that we can better understand who we are as God’s people.
A Warm Welcome
Whether you’re planning your first visit to Transfiguration or your one-hundred-and-first: welcome! At Transfiguration we welcome people of all backgrounds, nationalities, personal histories, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We are a community that worships and prays together, eats together, cries, rejoices, and grows together.
Questions Encouraged!
We believe that part of being a welcoming Christian community is welcoming people where they are, not where we are.
You do not have to share all (or any) of the same beliefs as the practicing Christians within our community to be welcome here, for while we are on this journey with each other, we respect that we can be in different places along the way. All are welcome and invited at Transfiguration.
You can belong before you believe.
We are always welcoming new people on Sundays when we gather for worship at 10:30am and 4pm.
Alternatively, please feel free to contact our Incumbent, Daniel Cranley, who would be happy to make an appointment for coffee and conversation and a friendly introduction.
Happening at Transfiguration
Carolling on the Hill
Church of the Transfiguration
111 Manor Road East
Toronto, ON M4S 1R4 Map
Join us on Friday, December 6th from 6-8pm for some outdoor Christmas carolling! We'll gather around our small campfire on the hill to sing songs, and we'll take breaks to warm up in the parish hall with hot chocolate and good cheer!
Music booklets will be provided; as it does get a little dark on the hill at that hour, you're welcome to bring a flashlight or head lamp to better read the music (or simply sing by heart!).
All are welcome.
Children's Christmas Service
Church of the Transfiguration
111 Manor Road East
Toronto, ON M4S 1R4 Map
Join us for a fun and informal hour of dressing up as shepherds and angels (and the whole host of other characters) to tell the story of Jesus' birth. Costumes are provided and refreshments will be served. All are welcome!
Christmas Eve Vigil
Church of the Transfiguration
111 Manor Road East
Toronto, ON M4S 1R4 Map
The sanctuary will be decorated with Christmas trees, candles, and poinsettias.
The sounds of the piano and cello will fill the air.
And we will gather to celebrate with the shepherds of long ago the birth of Jesus, the one whom we wait and long for this Advent season.
Arrive fifteen minutes before the service for some extra carols, and stay around fifteen minutes after the service for some apple cider and refreshments.
(Please note: children are most welcome, but we will not have any children's programming for this service.)
Agape Feast
Church of the Transfiguration
111 Manor Road East
Toronto, ON M4S 1R4 Map
The holiday season is indeed one of feasting, and so join us on December 29 as we feast together with fellowship. liturgy, and food in the sanctuary.
The church will provide the main dish, with the rest being potluck, so please bring something to share if you're able. (Though if bringing a dish is not possible, we'd be happy to accept help with clean up instead!)
Also, if you have a piece of music, a joke, a poem, or anything else you'd like to share throughout the evening, please connect with Deb who is coordinating the "open mic" moments.
