Zion Gospel Assembly is a vibrant, non-denominational, Malayalee\/Malayali Pentecostal Church. We meet at a location in Etobicoke, Toronto, Ontario. Worshiping God in Spirit and truth is our passion. Zion Gospel Assembly has its roots planted in history as the first Malayalee Pentecostal Church in Canada.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
A Brief History:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
\n
 <\/div>\n
In 1968, a small group of believers came together to worship and have fellowship. The church exceedingly grew in strength that, in 1976, decided to apply for official registration.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Scripture says, \u201cAll things work together for good to those who love Him and who have been called according to His purpose.\u201d Amidst the challenges in a growing church ministry, God has led us faithfully through this very promise!<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Our humble beginnings started in rented halls. In 2006, we acquired a place in Toronto, Ontario, to call as our home and serve the community through our ministries.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Over many years, we have witnessed lives being impacted and testimonies of deliverance, gratitude and hope. We are centered on building a generation relentless in faith, rooted in His word, and are disciples for the great commission whilst creating tides of revival in the end times.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
