Serve the World
How is God calling you into his great mission of redeeming the world?
For over 200 years, Knox has been inviting and sending people to join in God’s redemption mission, sharing the good news of Jesus through word and deed, all over the world. We believe that as followers of Jesus, we are all called to participate in God’s mission and we’d love to help you explore your place in it all!

Our 4 Missions Priorities
Four strategic mission priorities focus our mission funding and partnerships. We believe these are the specific areas of mission God desires us to focus on.
Diaspora Ministry
To participate in gathering people from cultural groups and nations into the kingdom of God is a biblical calling. We do this through supporting outreach to international students, refugees, or immigrant communities, leading discipleship or outreach activities to diaspora groups or communities, and providing shelter support for refugees.
Our mission partners with this priority are:
Carluci & Christina dos Santos (Greater Toronto Area)
Elizabeth Matthias (Germany)
Student Ministry
Our church is uniquely positioned to support student ministry: we are neighbours to a world-class university that brings in thousands of students and academics from all over the world. Through supporting organizations and leaders that are mobilizing, mentoring, serving students and creating vision trip opportunities we live into our calling to influence such formative years of self-discovery and faith in the lives of young adults.
Our mission partners with this priority are:
Ann Chow (GTA and the world)
Luke & Yuko Elliot (Japan)
Laurie Armstrong (Power to Change, Guelph)
Gord & Brenda Nickerson (Josiah Venture)
Justice & Mercy Ministry
Throughout the Bible, we see a God who understands the value and dignity of each human life, and who desires that all people flourish. And so we support and partner with organizations that work towards justice for black and/or indigenous communities in Canada, work to transform marginalized communities in other countries, seek reconciliation, pursue anti-racism efforts, and focus on creation care.
Our mission partners with this priority are:
Leah Hopp (Uganda)
Rachel & Colin McCordic (Africa Inland Mission, Chad)
Muslim Ministry
God is revealing himself in countless ways among our Muslim neighbours despite numerous barriers. In recent years, our community witnessed more and more Muslim-background brothers and sisters decide to follow Jesus despite the great personal costs. Through supporting church planting work in predominantly Muslim areas and countries and participating in mission activities in Canada that specifically serve Muslim communities we lean into the opportunities that the Spirit is opening to us.
Our mission partners with this priority are:
D & R (Greater Toronto Area)
CB (serving with FFM)
S & H (South America and Turkey)
C & K (between the GTA and Asia)
S & I (Central Asia)
Missions Committee
These volunteers and staff oversee the our strategic mission plans, financial applications, and care of our supported missionaries.
Jeff Bloom (Chair), Sabrina Simmons (Session Rep), Deby Chatterjee, Hazel Mucio, Karen Williams.
