When the St. George’s congregation was amalgamated by the Diocese with St. John the Evangelist Anglican church in 1996, the buildings at the corner of Tom & Strathcona were put on the market for sale. Offers were received from developers but the diocese was firm that the land and buildings were dedicated to God and they trusted Him to bring another Christian ministry along to fulfill their commitment to the Lord.
Hamilton Christian Fellowship (HCF) purchased the land with the help of the Anglican Diocese who held the first mortgage. Over the next 25 years HCF renovated 135 Strathcona and in 2021 paid off the property mortgage and began a $2M restoration of 10 Tom Street. Since then we have been able to make our facilities available to serve many other Kingdom initiatives beyond HCF’s oversight.
