What does it really take to protect the future of MCC Toronto?

In his 2025 Year in Review, Board Chair James Richard Beattie reflects on a year that quietly, but decisively, strengthened the foundation of our church. At a time when many institutions are struggling with trust, transparency, and sustainability, the Board focused on what matters most: sound financial stewardship, modern governance, clear accountability, and care-filled support of leadership.

This message offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how the Board approached its role – not to manage day-to-day operations, but to ensure MCC Toronto is governed in a way that is resilient, values-driven, and worthy of the mission entrusted to us. From updated bylaws and improved financial oversight to renewed confidence from the congregation and community, this reflection helps connect the dots between governance decisions and the future we are building together.

As we look ahead to 2026 and after the 25-year anniversary of the world’s first same-sex marriage, this is an important and timely read – especially for anyone who cares deeply about MCC Toronto’s sustainability, integrity, and public witness.
