Grace Apostolic was born in the heart of Carlton Rigg, he felt the urge to ask the late Pastor Stevens to start outreach in the Scarborough area, with the support of Bro.

1986: Services were held at George B. Little School in the Horton Pk./Progress area of Scarborough the presence of the Lord was overwhelming, the spirit of God moved in a rich and mighty way. It was during this period that Scarborough experienced the first Good Friday Service.
The response to this service was tremendous, the service was packed beyond capacity, the Lord moved in a mighty way.
The school however had disadvantages, it was expensive and time constraint restricted the move of God. In October of 1986 the church moved to 3739 Lawrence Ave. E a bridge club which became known to members as the Upper Room.
At the bridge club the facility was shared which was a great disadvantage, however after 6 monts of sharing,
Grace became sole tenant of 3739 Lawrence Ave. E.

Pastor Rigg had an impression from the Lord , a principalic power needed to be broken in Scarborough for a break through. Bro Couglan an evangelist from New Brunswick helped in evangelism, it was at this point the Bro. Castro now Pastor Castro joined and introduced the principles of fasting, along with his wife fasted for 14 days.
With the fasting came a great revival, the church grew, numbers multiplied. A number of local evangelist helped keep the spiritual mememtum. It was in the Upper Room that the Lord solidified the bases, there was a great outpouring of the Holy Ghost, many were baptized in the name of Jesus, the church saw many miracles, one significant miracle was the healing of Bro. Marques son from a broken ribs..

At this junction we pause to remember those who no longer remain on this side, Aunt Blanche, Marilym Sandblock who left $8000 on her will for the church, Bro & Sis Reid, Sis West, Bro Stephen Shakes and Bro Ricky Trench.

The Lord continues to move to moves in a might way, there is much to thank him for. We are very grateful to councillor Marilyn McKersy who was very instrumental in getting the city to change the by-laws to allow industrial building to be used as church..
