History
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
Mathew 18:20
Our Roots
St Giles Kingsway is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church of Canada. Our roots go back to the sixteenth century Protestant Reformation. At that time, the major emphases of the Protestant or Reformed faith were established: 1) centrality of Jesus as Saviour, 2) the Bible as our final authority, 3) salvation through faith alone - not by works, 4) the essential need for grace, 5) and giving glory to God.
Presbyterians take their name from the Greek word in the New Testament for elders. Consequently, elders are elected by our congregation to oversee congregational life, the various ministries and pastoral care.
Congregation
St Giles Presbyterian Church was started in 1950 by a group of Elders and the Rev. Dr. William Adamson, our first Minister. In 1960 Kingsway Presbyterian and St Giles joined forces to become St Giles Kingsway. The congregation quickly outgrew their church and added a much larger sanctuary, which is where we worship today. Through the faith and effort of many people over the last 73 years, St. Giles has continued to serve God and our community.
