Leader Bio:
Pr. Harold Novac heard the Lord call him to ministry in his childhood. He always looked up to the ministers who served in the church and felt that he has to serve the Lord when he will grow up. Therefore, he had this life goal that wherever the Lord will place him, he will prepare for ministry.
In 2011, after completing his high school education he attended the Adventus University in South Eastern Romania where he completed his Bachelor in Theology and Master of Arts in Religion, affiliated with Andrews University in Michigan, USA. During his study years he served as assistant pastor in two different churches in Romania. During his studies he met his better half Irina, and they got married in 2014, and they are serving the Lord together since than.
In 2016 they participated in a mission crusade in the Philippines. That experience helped them understand the struggles as well as the beauties and the blessings of ministry. Thus, after returning from the Philippines, they got called to serve as missionaries in the Island of Cyprus. He served in the city of Larnaca for a little over one year.
In 2017 he got a call from the Toronto Hungarian SDA Church to serve in Toronto as a Bible Worker. At the end of 2017 they accepted the call and they moved to Canada.
Pastor Novac served the Hungarian church as a Bible worker the following months, and in 2019 he got a call from the Ontario Conference to take over the pastoral position of the Hungarian and Cambridge SDA churches. He accepted the call and together with his wife they are serving both churches faithfully since 2019.
The Novac’s love the Lord, serve Him with joy, and cordially invite everyone to join them in preparing for the glorious day of Jesus’ appearance as King of Kings to take His children home.
We are happy to welcome them to serve our church congregation and community and wish God’s abundant blessings upon their ministry.

Toronto Hungarian Adventist Church History
Already in 1958 existed a few Hungarian Adventist families in the Toronto area, who were worshipping each Sabbath within the services of the Yugoslavian church. Pastor Sleher who was the Yugoslavian pastor then, has welcomed them with open arms in the old Ukrainian chapel in which they met.
The congregation was officially organized by pastor Charles Sohlman, a well-known Hungarian pastor in the year 1965. In his retirement years pastor Sohlman lived in the State of New York, United States. His regular visits to Toronto were always coupled with evangelistic series and crusades. It was only a matter of time, before the small group was officially established to carry the glimmer of light bestowed upon them to Hungarians living in the Toronto area.
Right after the establishment of the small congregation, pastor Bill Lenart, Yugoslavian born but of Hungarian origin, took over the leadership role of the church. Although pastor Sohlmann continued to assist and embrace the church with his crusades, pastor Lenart along with his wife Nina and members of the congregation continued to labour tirelessly to ensure God's word is audible in Toronto. He was known to be one of the most patient and longest serving pastor of the congregation's history.
During the first 2-3 years the congregation met at the old Ukrainian Seventh-Day Adventist church building. Later on the church moved over to 506 College Street, renting one of the chapels at the Portuguese Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Both locations were a few streets of each other within the downtown Toronto core.
In 1978, after pastor Lenart's retirement pastor Leslie Szerecz took over the pastorship. Along with his wife Eva and three children they too fully dedicated themselves to the service of the Lord and the hungarian community. During his time the church membership grew to a membership of over 50. He was a pastor well-known for his concern and care of the widowed, elderly and the sick.
1983 brought about the transfer of pastor Szerecz and the opportunity of pastor Imre Mora to further the work of the Lord in Toronto. Along with his wife Ilona, although having to commute from Barrie for all church events, they continued to uphold the group's mission and continued to dedicate their time to the Hungarian community.
In 1989 pastor Julius Kalmar has replaced pastor Mora. Although his wife Vera and two young sons did not speak Hungarian, they have embraced the Hungarian congregation with dedication and service. During the coming months it has become all the more difficult for members and pastor alike to attend services in the downtown Toronto area due to parking and traffic difficulties. As a result, in the summer of 1989 the church has moved to 2395 Bayview Avenue, renting the chapel of the Bob Rumball Center.
After only one year of service, pastor Kalmar was transferred to pastor an English church. For the next 4 years (1990-1994) the church was lacking Hungarian pastoral leadership and support. The brethren persevered, and continued to meet from Sabbath to Sabbath under the great leadership of sister Katalin Horvath who was asked to serve in the interim. Each year the Ontario Conference ensured that the church was overseen by various pastors: Clayton Stanvic (1991), Barry Hubbley (1992) and Ilijah Beslic (1993).
During this time of need Lord Supper services were provided by pastors Milovan Bogomirovic and Gerrard Christiansen. Brothers Marton Horvath, Arthur Kiziak, Jagos Ivanovic, Rory MacIntosh, sister Daniella Drabik and pastor Edward Johnson were always willing to speak the word of God... The congregation, amongst numerous obsticles and great difficulties, continued to witness to the Hungarian community and the City of Toronto.
The fall of 1994 brought about great joy as we have welcomed pastor Andrew Kapusi in our midst. Along with his wife Julie and three children (Andy, Monika and Willy) they have been an answer to prayer when they arrived from Virginia of the United States.
In the summer of 2000, close to the GC session that was held in Toronto we have sadly learnt that pastor Kapusi has received a transfer from our church. In his absence, the congregation was without pastoral leadership for almost one year, when in February of 2001 our prayers were answered. Pastor Charles Nagy has been granted a transfer to Toronto from the Romanian Union and was welcomed by the Ontario Conference. Along with his wife Cristina and two teenage children, they have dedicated their lives and service to the congregation. He and his wife Christina served the church for 18 years.

Put me to what You will
Lord, I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what You will, rank me with whom You will. Let be employed by You or laid aside for You, exalted for You or brought low by You. Let me have all things, let me have nothing, I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine and I am Yours. So be it. Amen.
