Yonge Lawrence Fellowship

felōˌSHip noun: a friendly association,

At Yonge Lawrence Fellowship, we want to care for those who don’t attend church. Our mission is to meet the needs of our neighbourhood, and we’re in the business of restoring lives. We do that by living out our simple mantra: “Commit to Kindness.” Yonge Lawrence Fellowship is where the restorative power of kindness is demonstrated.

We are a new Fellowship, begun in September 2016, and we started by offering an evening course called Restored Lives. It’s for those who are separated or divorced. We will be presenting an anti-bullying proposal to the local schools, and we have plans to start a parenting programme in the New Year.

We want to be a community of faith who extend an unconditional welcome and acceptance. We believe that significant, restorative life change takes place relationally -- when we feel safe, when we feel we belong, when we can be vulnerable, it’s in this open environment that we can trust, both to give of ourselves, and to receive.

There is not a single person in our neighbourhood that doesn’t need to know more kindness, compassion and goodness. We believe that’s who God is – kind, compassionate and good – and we want to show how lives can be restored by the power of His love at work within a community.
