Men’s Fellowship Ministry of the church started in 1998 with about 55 members. Since then, it has become a mature, vibrant and an active fellowship of the church with more than double the number of members and continuing to grow.

Operational Structure
“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”- Hebrews 13:16
The Men’s Fellowship seek to activate the untapped potential of the men in the church. We provide support to each other by providing a family environment and working through their issues with the guidance of the holy spirit. We ensure effective engagement of men in mission work, prayer fellowship and in the overall maintenance of the church and its activities. We also involve in activities with other churches ensuring active participation in retreats, missions, sports and music.
Activities
We, the men of CSI Church Toronto, consider involvement in church as a GOD given responsibility and encourage others to be a part of the whole. Our activities culminate with Church’s spiritual values ensuring CHRIST to be our cornerstone.
Men’s Fellowship Meeting
Every 3rd week of the month we meet with all the men of our church engaging on various topics based on the Bible, uplifting and praying for each other. We also find time to discuss our activities and upcoming events of the church.
Men’s Fellowship Sunday
This is an annual special Sunday service which is led by us participating in church lay ministry including praise and worship, bible reading, sermon and various other activities. We prepare and serve food for the whole church after the divine service.
Annual Gathering
Every year, we have a social get together at an outdoor venue to strengthen the personal relationship and unity among the members of the men’s fellowship having a leisure time, singing, sharing testimonies and performing recreational activities. We also share conversations of mutual interests and play competitive games.
Praise and Worship
Men’s Fellowship has a dedicated praise and worship team. Periodically, Men’s fellowship members actively lead the praise and worship in cottage prayer, gospel convention and in Men’s retreat.
Men’s Retreat
Starting 2018 we have conducted a Men’s retreat in our church which was led by presbyters from other congregations. With its success on October 19th 2019, the men of CSI Church Toronto laid the foundation for the first ecumenical Christian Men’s Retreat. Since then, annually, we invite members from other congregation to share some time in prayer, fellowship and songs. Our intent is to continue this retreat every year including all Christian Men in the Greater Toronto Area churches and expand it furthermore.
Mission Work
As a part of Toronto CSI Church mission values and community outreach program, Men’s Fellowship team members do a volunteering work periodically going to various charity organizations helping the needy, serving food etc. It ignites the passion for us men, to serve the community we are in and give something in return to the community.
Other Activities
Men’s Fellowship members actively participate in spring-cleaning program, annual picnic, harvest festival, family night, Christmas carolling and other church activities. We involve in any and every church needs and activities to ensure effective functioning of the church as a whole.
