Regent Park Community Ministry offers support, joy and engagement to Regent Park residents.

The Regent Park Community Ministry (RPCM) is a ministry dedicated to furthering justice and liberation of people experiencing poverty in our neighbourhood.

RPCM is an inclusive church without walls. To be church in our context means to gather, to organize, to support, and to assist our neighbours. We are a church where all are welcomed and all can flourish. We consciously work to centre those experiencing marginalization, poverty, and isolation in all we do.

    Doug, Community Member

  • "I live in Regent Park, and honestly, in the situation we are stuck in, it feels like we are yelling into a void. No one seems to care. But this ministry cares. This is everything to us."

    Janice, A Displaced Regent Park Tenant

  • "This ministry gets me out of my apartment every week, which is a big deal because I can feel very lonely there. I think this ministry is important because it gives me a space to be accepted and loved - to know someone is waiting for me and wants to see me."

    Roy, RPCM Church Member

  • "RPCM has taught me more about issues of social justice in relation to my Christian faith."

    Daniel, RPCM church member

  • 'The church has a lot to learn from ministries like RPCM. They are the future of the church in the city, and RPCM has important things to teach us. I am here for it!'

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Regent Park Community Ministry acknowledges that the land that we work on has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to share this land.
