Church Of The Nazerene

Toronto Main Street Church of the Nazarene has been located at 363 Main Street since December 12, 1937 when the first service conducted by Rev. H.M. McGuire was held in a space that was the Danforth Day Nursery. At that time the church was known as the East Toronto Evangelical Centre. On March 20, 1938, the church was organized and, at a members' meeting of March 23rd, officially christened 'The Main Street Church of the Nazarene'. From an initial membership of l6 members in May, 1938, and despite being sometimes overlooked because of its recessed location, Main Street Church membership has grown over the years.Main Street has always taken seriously the mandate to 'Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel'. There are believers today in all walks of life who have had their spiritual beginnings at Main Street.
