The Greater Toronto Spiritual Life Convention is convened annually in January and is spearheaded and organized by evangelical pastors and leaders who are particularly concerned about the spiritual condition and direction of the church.
The purpose of the convention is to call Christians from different denominations and traditions in a spirit of oneness and camaraderie to a more serious spiritual walk and commitment to the Lord of the Church.
The design of the Convention is not to duplicate the ministries of local churches but to serve as a unifying rallying point for all believers and emphasize our common spiritual concern in order to encourage Christians to pursue holiness and a deeper fellowship with the Triune God.
The main message of the Convention consists of seeking and finding God in all His glory, knowing vital communion with the indwelling resurrected Christ, enjoying the power and liberty of the Spirit's fullness, and experiencing victorious, fruitful Christian living.
The Church of Jesus Christ today needs a vibrant, dynamic witness and action that will counter the spiritual malaise, complacency, and indifference that pervade much of contemporary Western Christendom.
The Convention shall endeavour to sound the clarion call for spiritual awakening, revival, and renewal and thus facilitate spiritual growth as well as promote the earnest and passionate evangelism of the lost.
