The Lighthouse is very grateful for the people and entities who share in our objectives and who support and coordinate with The Lighthouse in achieving its objects. The Lighthouse works in collaboration with a number of organizations in the GTA which share the objects of The Lighthouse or whose programs are complementary with the programs of The Lighthouse.
the “Classis Toronto Churches” and various Ministries / Committees of the Christian Reformed Church of North America
The Classis Toronto Churches comprise part of the membership of The Lighthouse and generally share our vision and objectives. The Lighthouse has historically partnered with the Classis Toronto Churches in their sponsorship of refugees over the years, and the Classis Toronto Churches continue to be a source of financial and volunteer support. The Lighthouse’s Executive Director regularly sits on one or more committees of the Classis Toronto Churches, and The Lighthouse has over the years been a resource in information and advocacy for ministries and committees of the Christian Reformed Church of North American, including the Ministry of Race Relations and the Christian Reformed Centre of Public Dialogue.
Logos Baptist Church provides facilities and resources for certain of The Lighthouse’s programs catered to Chinese-speaking individuals living in Scarborough. Classes (including culture-orientation, computer proficiency classes and ESL) and counselling are regularly held at Logos Baptist Church every Wednesday.
The Lighthouse works in conjunction with Zion Alliance Church in providing facilities and resources for various settlement counselling and classes – including the “Dancercize” program, a cooking class, annual income tax seminars and workshops – every Tuesday.
