Victoria Park Gospel Hall, ON

Victoria Park Gospel Hall was a sizable open brethren assembly on the East End of Toronto, Ontario, Canada that folded in January or February of 2025. It was founded in 1921 as Pape Avenue Gospel Hall, meeting at 871 Pape Ave. until 1999 when it relocated to the Victoria Park and St. Clair district, and rebranded. An early correspondent was James Mahaffy (+1927+).

Locations

• 871 Pape Ave., East York, Toronto 1921-1999
  • This location is currently the Greek Gospel Church. Interesting to note that one of the two favorite books of its current pastor, David Anastasiadis, is the Autobiography of George Muller. David earned his undergrad from Greek Bible College in Pikermi, and in recent years has been working on a M.Div. at Tyndale Seminary. The latter is notable as there have been many Brethren on its faculty including Ward Gasque, Paul Bramer, Nelson Annan, Doug Hayhoe, Ian S. Rennie, and Jordan Scheetz.
