Calvin Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian Church in Canada congregation in the Deer Park area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] The church building is located at 26 Delisle Avenue, close to Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue.
History
The congregation began as a "Minority Group" from nearby Deer Park Presbyterian Church (subsequently Deer Park United Church) that voted against joining the United Church of Canada in 1925.[2] First known as "Hill District Presbyterians", they later named their congregation after Reformation leader John Calvin. The church building was designed in 1926 by the firm of Wickson and Gregg.[3]
Calvin Presbyterian is part of the Churches on the Hill group, an ecumenical association of congregations, including Deer Park United, that meet regularly for study, fellowship, and local pursuits.
