Power of Love Ministry Church was officially launched on January 11, 2004. On that opening day, with just over 100 visitors in attendance, the first service was held at 3010 Sheppard Avenue Scarborough. After 18 months, the church relocated to 20 Silverstar Blvd, Scarborough. Two and a half years later came the move to Power of Love’s current home at 700 Progress Ave, Unit 6, Scarborough.
In the years since, over 25 new followers of Christ have been baptized into the faith at Power of Love, and the church has also produced a number of graduates in the fields of Theology and Counselling. We continue our mission to reach the lost and teach those learning to walk with Christ of the boundless love and power of Almighty God. You are invited to join us this and every Sunday as we worship; we welcome you as Jesus would, with open arms, and without reservation.
We, the people of God seek to serve the church and our community through preaching, teaching, evangelism, fellowship and ministry, enabling them to become effective witnesses for Jesus Christ.
We seek to build a strong and growing body of sincere believers who remain true to the Gospel. We will continue to reach out to all people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will dedicate ourselves to the mission of loving others and guiding them in their walk with Christ. We strive for humility, faithfulness and gratitude in managing all we have been given for the glory of God.
God is foremost in our hearts, and honoring Him in all aspects of life through worship, prayer and service to others is our greatest privilege
In everything we do, our guiding principle is the commitment we have made to be like Jesus and follow in His footsteps throughout our lives.
Love is the essence of God, and He has charged us with a mission to love each other and share the gospel. Expressing kindness, love and acceptance to all God’s children while spreading God’s Holy Word is our continued goal.
The highest possible expression of gratitude to God is to serve others; both those in need, and those who we may not always deem deserving. This is the purest form of love and evangelism, as we show others what it means to be Christian by our actions and not just our words.
Prayer is as vital to our lives as breathing; it is the best way to seek God and strengthen our relationship with Him. In so doing, we also increase our faith and our belief that we serve a God of great miracles who can do the impossible.
The blood of Jesus saves and unites us all. By connecting with the lost and unchurched and preaching and teaching those just beginning their journey as believers, we aim to fulfill God’s greatest wish for his children by building a community based on faith, love and worship.
