Founding of the Gujarati Church of Canada
In the late seventies and early eighties, the founding members of the Gujarati Church of Canada arrived in Ontario, Canada and nurtured a dream to have Bible based Gujarati Christian Community. In 2001, we started a small Bible Study called Canadian Gujarati Christian Fellowship, led by Rev. Mahendra Christi. Meanwhile, Rev. Mahendra Christi completed his Masters in Divinity and was ordained.
In 2007, The Gujarati Church of Canada was dedicated and appointed Rev Mahendra Christi as the pastor by Rt. Rev. Vinod Malaviya (Bishop of Church of North India – Gujarat Diocese), Dr. Rev. Nicholas Parmar (Bible Society of India), Dr. Rondo Thomas (Vice President of Canada Christian College, Toronto), Rev. Norman Green (NBUC – United Church of Canada), and Rev. Graham Kennedy (Presbyterian Church of Canada).
Rev Mahendra Christi was appointed as an Ordained Minister to lead and to serve the Gujarati Christian congregation in Canada.
