Sunday Morning Services
We normally offer three different Sunday Morning Services every week: 8 am, 9:15 am and 10:30 am, each with a distinct style, but with the same theme.
8 AM
Said Eucharist
– a quiet and contemplative Communion service, with Bible readings and prayers from the traditional Book of Common Prayer and a brief sermon.
This service runs about 40 minutes.
9:15 AM
Relaxed and Informal Communion Service
– a relaxed and informal seeker-oriented service with contemporary songs and favourite hymns, communion, and a sermon that connects to your lived experience.
This service lasts 45-50 minutes.
10:30 AM
Sung Choral Eucharist
– a classic Anglican service of worship, with relevant biblical preaching, organ music, sung prayers, and choir music.
This service runs just over an hour, includes Holy Communion, and follows the liturgy found in our Book of Alternative Services.
We also have busy bags at the back of the sanctuary for children, and we have a dedicated play mat with soft toys in our adjacent chapel.
Other Services
Here are some of our other popular services:
Sunday Afternoons
Sunday Jazz Vespers
Jazz Vespers at Christ Church is a popular, informal service held once a month on a Sunday afternoon from September to June, and featuring some of the city’s finest jazz musicians. This service has been included in the Toronto Jazz Festival line-up.
Our Jazz Vespers include a reflective reading and prayers for the needs of the world.
A voluntary collection is taken.

Holy Eucharist
On Wednesday mornings we offer a half-hour service of Holy Communion in the chapel, with a short reflection or homily. Afterwards we gather for a time of fellowship over coffee & cookies (feel free to bring a packed lunch!)
Friday Evenings
Church on Tap
One Friday every month we open up Church on Tap here at Christ Church Deer Park. We’re serving up a light, informal & creative service of Holy Eucharistic in our worship space, followed by ice-cold beer in the hall.
Using only the finest liturgy, coupled with a pint of locally brewed beer, we have unlocked the perfect combination for a great start to your Friday night in the city.
(Non-Alcoholic beverages & snacks will also be served)
Good Liturgy. Good Beer. Amen.
