The primary purpose of the Estonian Baptist Church of Toronto is to proclaim and teach Christian doctrine to promote a Christian lifestyle to members of the congregation and adherents in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Bible. We also organize and hold religious services Christian education programs and activities. We teach and perform sacred music direct and perform welfare and relief activities both in Canada and abroad in countries like Estonia. Virtual services are streamed over the internet weekly so that the congregation has more access to Christian teaching as well giving the public at large access to our worship services. 'Live' worship services and meetings are held at 883 Broadview Ave. approximately 15 times during the year as well as in the Estonian Nursing and Seniors Home whenever possible. We offer pastoral care to those who request it. Financially we support Canadian charities who help spread the gospel to people in need both physically & spiritually as well as overseas missionary activities by gifting funds to our denomination (Canadian Baptists of Ontario & Quebec) as well as other Christian charitable organizations that are registered charities in Canada. We also support Christian congregations in Estonia through our Agency Agreement with the Union of Free Evangelical and Baptist Churches of Estonia.
New programs
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic we started recording our Sunday services (Live and virtual) and have uploaded them online so that the congregation can have access to Christian teaching. This also allows the public at large access to our worship services which a new way for us to spread the gospel.
