Coming out of scriptures that paint a compelling picture of God, you are invited to explore, experience and know the One who desires to make us whole.
Welcome to the Greater Toronto Area Adventist Community Service Federation (GTAACSF) It gives me great pleasure to bid you welcome to this very important ministry which is the right arm of our church. This Federation was created to assist the churches in their ministry to the community with the following resources: Training and workshops, such as Disaster Response & Relief, ASL for the Deaf, Food Handlers Courses etc. We also facilitate many opportunities to network with members of various ministries with social activities such as our Annual picnics and our ACS Awards Dinners. We are always present at our annual Ontario Conference Camp Meetings with a booth full of resources to assist you with your programs.

TESTIMONIALS
We would like to say a Heartfelt thank you to the Executive Members of the GTAACS Federation for answering the call for assistance with food supplies for our Food Pantry during this COVID-19 Pandemic. Because of your great vision and Godly service to the many churches in the GTA we were able to meet the demands of the vulnerable members of our community by providing much needed food supplies to the many families documented and non-documented alike during these very difficult days. We have heard from many families that because of us they were able to put a hot meal on their tables during their job losses in this pandemic. Thank you and may God continue to richly bless the work of your hands as you continue in his service.
