Blythwood Road Baptist Church Local Mission Ministries

 

Blythwood Road Church serves North Toronto through its vibrant Sunday worship, ministry to children, small study and mission groups, and its Baptist partners' ministers to those in need of care and love in the city, the province, and around the world. You are invited to join us in discovering your place in service for God.

For more information on how you can get involved with any of these groups, contact Pastor David at pastor@blythwood.org or office@blythwood.org.

 

Benevolent Fund

 

With the current suspension of our Wednesday Drop-in due to COVID-19, donations from the congregation are being directed to the following organizations:  

  • Dale Mission – The Dale Ministries is a community organization and church without its own walls. Everything we do takes place in partnership with others. In this, we have found beautiful strength. 
  • Horizons For Youth – The Shelter provides at-risk and homeless youth in Toronto with holistic support, life-changing programs, and a home for as long as they need.
  • Matthew House – Matthew House is a faith-based organization inspired and motivated by the life and teachings of Jesus.  We believe all people are worthy of dignity, honour, and respect.  We serve people of all faiths and advocate for the well-being of each individual.  

    Scott Mission – Scott Mission is a Christian, non-denominational, faith-based street mission in downtown Toronto, serving the poor and needy of our city, offering support and provisions for the homeless, low-income families, and children and youth.
  • Yonge Street Mission – YSM works with three distinct groups, providing programs and services designed specifically to support and propel our neighbours to remove barriers in their lives, overcome poverty, and reach their personal goals.
  

Bolivian Partnership

  

For our most recent update from Blythwood's Bolivia Partners in Mission, Bill and Janice Dyck, please go to their 'Cautiously Optimistic Newsletter'  Click Here 

 

Blythwood is a partner with churches of Bolivian Baptist Union to support and encourage their work. This partnership began in 2006. 

Blythwood's specific partnership is with the Association of Baptist Churches in the Chapare region. Our first mission trip was completed in the spring of 2008. Eleven members of the Blythwood family worked on various ministry projects including children's ministry and the renovation of a former clinic so that it can be used as a ministry training centre. In August 2017, ten from Blythwood and Weston Park Baptist went to Bolivia. This was our third mission trip to Bolivia, visiting Cochabamba and Aquile. It was great to see the Chagas project and Casa de la Amistad up close and spend time with the missionaries our church supports. 
  

Horizons For Youth

  

Horizons for Youth is a 35-bed emergency shelter dedicated to helping homeless and at-risk youth between the ages of 16-24 years. They provide emergency accommodations, including three meals/day, Individualized Case Management, Housing Support, Community Support, Aftercare and Day Program, and a Career Horizons pre-employment program. Their services are made possible through community partnerships and support.

 

Their Residential Program ensures the basic needs of each youth are met by providing them with a bed to sleep in, three meals per day, clothing, personal hygiene products and services, and access to the internet, computer, and television.

 

BRBC Community has been volunteering at Horizons for Youth since December 2011.
