The Meeting Place
We are located at the corner of Queen Street East at Lark Street, in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood, one block east of Kingston Road. Our meeting place sits on the ancestral lands of many Indigenous groups including the Haudenosaunee, Wyandot, and Michi Saugig (Anishinabeg).
Accessibility: TUMC is fully accessible to wheelchairs, by way of the Lark St. door at the north end of the building. There is an accessible washroom on the main floor (in the small hallway opposite the cloakroom) and an elevator provides access to basement washrooms and classrooms as well as the second and third floor. Our seating is in movable chairs, allowing people with mobility devices to sit wherever they like. Wheel-Trans can do drop-offs right at the entrance. Large-print hymnals and hearing assistance devices (if you wish, you may bring your own earbuds or headphones to plug in) are available for those who need a little extra help to enjoy the service. Please ask an usher for anything you need.
Our Partners: The TUMC community built its current worship space as a joint project with two partner organizations, the Mennonite New Life Centre of Toronto (MNLCT) which offers services for newcomers in our city, and the Iglesia Menonita Nueva Vida (New Life Mennonite Church) which worships in Spanish.
On a Sunday morning if you visit 1774 Queen you may see our siblings heading up to the 3rd floor for their service. Our congregations often mark Good Friday together and sometimes host joint events and activities. Their worship services are also available online. Contact them: tmnlc@mnlct.org or see their Facebook page [ https://www.facebook.com/tmnlc ].
The Mennonite New Life Centre has administration offices at 1774 Queen, while their work takes place elsewhere in the city. If you are a client, please don’t come to 1774 Queen Street unless you have made an appointment with MNLCT to do so. Contact them via their website.
