I have known about the Cathedral of the Transfiguration for at least a decade. I was in the…read moreneighbourhood and the three towers that comprise this cathedral stood out from Woodbine Avenue. I had to take a look. The area is known as Cathedraltown because, well, there's a large cathedral. I never have set foot in it. Originally built as a Catholic cathedral, it was closed from the mid-2000's onwards. There was some issue with getting a public occupancy permit. I still think that it remains closed for worship. Last night, I was fetching food from Cafe Mozaiko, which is on the same street. You get a beautiful look at this cathedral at the end of the street from any business on this stretch. There were plenty of cars parked in front of this cathedral after I had fetched my takeout. I frankly don't think that they were worshipers. Many folks with fancy sports cars like to gather around it. I'm not sure whether it's a nice hangout for folks to chat about cars and admire rims, or if they are praying that their insurance rates don't go up astronomically. It isn't an area where you can do some illegal street racing, unless Woodbine Avenue is considered the chosen course. It is bendy, but I have never seen any crazy racing on it whenever I'm on it. It's too residential for such a setup. They cathedral is beautiful to admire from afar. However, how often it's maintained remains a mystery. It may be slowly deteriorating externally. I didn't hear any bells ringing from it. It's sad to see such a beautiful cathedral sitting there and not being used for its intended original purpose. (41)

The building looks absolutely great from far. However, it seems to lack the maintenance and upkeep…read more Maybe the original contacting work was very bad. If you get a chance to go visit, you will notice the exterior steps are badly damaged, marble stone floors are all cracked and chipped badly. Weed growing in between steps and and cracks... Walking up closely, you would think it is an abandoned Cathedral.

Hands down, this church is the most welcoming one I have ever stepped into. I'm in search of a new…read morechurch and my gf said her friend goes there. We decided to go check it out.. Lo and behold, our friend was spot on - this church is awesome. I come from a chinese alliance church, so things are a bit conservative. Coming here opened my eyes to new things, such as the worship part.. It's no longer quiet or semi-loud.. The Bridge makes worship LOUD.. LOL. It's something I enjoy and have got use to. The messages are also very relevant and hits home quite regularly. Brian Childs is the pastor that does most of the messages and he is fantastic at what he does! This small church has a lot going on, from small groups in the church to helping the community (raising money, support for young pregnancy, etc).

First time coming to this church for Artisan & Food Market yesterday, and I had a blast :) The…read morestaff and volunteers were all very friendly and welcoming. The church was beautiful inside with floor to ceiling windows, and lots of sunlight. The venue was spacious and I enjoyed meeting familiar faces and new vendors! Some of my fave dessert vendors: - Petite Paire - Auntie Kelly's - B×wood Coffee - Dantes Patisserie I also met a vendor named Kevin from Grand Blue Drinks, who usually sells ginger beer at farmer's markets; best stuff ever. His ginger beer is extra spicy, good for mixing into cocktails, and made with monkfruit sugar. My friend and I purchased 4 bottles and got 1 more for free at the event! 100% would attend this event again :) The vendors are all friendly and knowledgeable; all very quality and talented artisan creators!

I'm always here for badminton, so I have not had the chance to see how the English worships are. I…read morecan say that the people that come for badminton are the people that attend this church regularly.. And they are extremely friendly. They aren't pushy and won't put the hand of God on you because you're not a believer. I'm a believer, so maybe that's why we get a long so well. 5 stars for now, until I get to meet the Rev/pastor/leaders first :)
