Faith Miracle Temple Ministries

The Faith Miracle Temple of Toronto was established in the year 1978 by Bishop Dr. Al Baxter B.Sc. DD, the late Bishop W. A. Shaw PhD. DD and Rev. Lucas P. Green and was later registered as a charity in 1985.  The Faith Miracle Temple is a community-based organization driven by passion, innovation and a strong commitment to social justice, community engagement and collaboration. The organization has been growing rapidly and has become a formidable community support center for over 30 years. During this time, the Faith Miracle Temple has been involved in projects and programs such as Specialized Counseling, After School Remediation Programs, Helping New Immigrants, Rescue Mission, Skills Development and Job Training Programs, Performing Arts and a Drop In Center.  As a church-based organization we cater to the whole man by literally providing help spiritually, financially and physically. 

The mission statement which accentuates our endeavor is: Our purpose is to bring people to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, to develop, equip and empower them for a successful life and for worldwide mission to the glory of God.  In this regard, we are extensively involved in community projects and programs which include housing, feeding and clothing the less fortunate members of our community.  In the last five years we have catered to over 15,000 such people in one place alone, the “Harvest Café”, a homeless shelter in downtown Toronto, and several thousands more across Canada and around the world. Our efforts in these endeavors have been so effective among these prescribed members of our community that our ministry was commended and congratulated in the year 2003 during our 25th anniversary by the Honorable Jean Chretien, the then Prime Minister of Canada, Honorable Sergio Marchi, Member of Parliament, the Honorable Mel Lastman, the then Toronto Mayor, and the Toronto Police Service Board.

In addition, we devote much of our effort to Youth Programs which involve counseling, recreational and educational activities and the development of a positive attitude toward their future.We endeavor to identify particular needs in our young people, and seek to offer remediation as best our ability allows. Our long-term goal is for residents and volunteers to have increased skills, capacity and knowledge that support a strong, harmonious and cohesive family unit and community as a whole. We are working with other organizations in the community with the aim of improving negative social conditions that affect residents of the community. 

Under leadership of Bishop Dr. Al Baxter, a true visionary, the ministry continues to expand with affiliate branches here in Canada and the Caribbean and with his international Deeper Life Crusades and television broadcast which have reached countries in the Far East, Middle East, Africa, Europe, The Caribbean, South Central and North America.  The Bishop has moved the ministry into a HIGHER DIMENSION whereby, we have purchased and reconstructed the new FMT complex designed to accommodate a large Auditorium, an Academic Christian school, a Gymnasium, a Banquet Hall, a Library and other recreational facilities.  This complex will be instrumental in the growth and expansion of our community services.
