Grace Toronto. A church for the city in the city. Get to know us.

Dan MacDonald, our Senior Pastor, was born in Montreal. An avid sports fan, he dreamed of playing professional sports until he looked in the mirror. He graduated from McGill University in ’84, and was accepted into law school at Western. It was there, in his first year, that he became a Christian.

After law school, he practiced law for several years and felt the call to Christian ministry in 1990. He became a youth pastor and then a campus ministry worker for the next decade. In 2000, feeling called to the pastorate, and headed to Florida for seminary. He graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, in 2002.

After seminary, Dan worked as an associate pastor in Jacksonville, Florida, before deciding to return to his home and native land to re-plant Grace Toronto in the summer of 2005. He has been enduring Toronto’s winters, and waiting for her summers, ever since.

Dan is happily married to the most beautiful– and understanding– woman on earth, Sue. They have one daughter, Shaila Grace.
