Who we are
Our Mission Statement
We are a diverse community of Christians, called by God, who seek to make a positive difference in the lives of those who reside in the Bathurst and Lawrence neighbourhood and beyond.
Serving in this community since 1812. Our church has been located at our current location 3180 Bathurst St. since 1812. The area has evolved from farm land, to new suburb, then to its present position in almost the geographic centre of Toronto. The congregation has evolved as well, now having members who have come from all over the world to worship with us. We'll be making some big changes soon. Come and Worship with Us!

Leader Bio:
My name is Reverend Carol McKinley and I have had the honour of serving as a pastoral minister at Plattsville/Washington in South West Ontario, Queensville United Church in Queensville, Ontario, Countryside United Church in Thornton, Ontario and a contract position at Toronto Conference.
I am blessed to say that on September 6, 2016, I start a new call with the people of Asbury and West. I understand there is work to be done. It is my hope that while we set goals to accomplish the work that needs to be done; we will also grow in our faith in God and grow as community.
A little back ground on myself: I completed my undergraduate degree at York University and my Master's of Divinity at Emmanuel College, Toronto, Ontario. I have three grown children and three grandchildren. I love to read, garden and play the piano. Just recently I started taking Yoga classes. This undertaking is a work in progress. Last but most importantly, I am married to Rick McKinley.
Rick and I live in Newmarket, Ontario and we have a yellow lab named Dixie Lee. Rick and I both love the United Church and like to travel.
I am looking forward to getting to know the people of Asbury and West United Church and being active in the community.
Yours with Kindness and Love, Rev. Carol

Asbury & West United Church History
Open our ears.
Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
