We are a church of believers committed to spreading God’s love to refugees, immigrants and newcomers to Canada as they adjust to their new life. We work to build and carry out our ministry through established English-speaking churches in Canada, helping the church cross the cultural gap that separates these ethnic groups.

Our Ministries
Life in Christ
Our church community consists of Sunday worship in both Cambridge and Scarborough locations, prayer meetings, bible studies, and communion.
The ARK
The Ark exists to reach out to the people who have been enduring the effects of the war and persecution in the Middle East and have them sheltered here in Canada to experience a new life in a safe community.
Missional Pastoral School
The Missional and Pastoral School is designed to train and equip servant leaders with the basic skills and resources they will need to share the gospel locally and internationally.
In 2012, Life in Christ (LInC) Ministries was formed in Scarborough Ontario by Rev. Ibrahim Wahby out of a burning need to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and make disciples of Arabic-speaking families. His goal was to minister to people from Arabic and other Middle Eastern countries with services in their native languages. LInC began as a church plant, meeting in three houses and in just a few months, the number of attendants started to grow exponentially, leading to the meetings being moved to larger locations.
LInC Expands to Cambridge
In 2015, LInC opened a second location in Cambridge out of a continued to need to reach serve in Southern Ontario. With the continued growth in the Scarborough location, LInC continued to look for different ways to serve and reach new refugees and Arabic-speaking Christians.
Sponsoring Refugees
In 2016, a large number of new refugees came to Canada as a result of the Syrian Refugee Crisis. LInC saw this need to serve and disciple these refugees, which was the beginning of Refugee Sponsorship Program, a program designed to provide financial aid in the transition of new refugees to Canada.
The ARK Program is Born
In 2017, their was continuing stream of new refugees to Canada. To further aid in this transition, The Ark Program was established to provide more hands-on support to the refugees during the period of crisis. It was designed to directly oversee and support the transition of refugees into Canada, supporting them on their journey and as they get settled into their new home. Part of the forming of The Ark involved establishing a Christan-inspired educational program under The Ark called The New Beginnings Program. This program was designed to provide classes for both Adults and kids who are newcomers to Canada and struggling with the transition to Canadian culture.
Missional Pastoral School Begins
In 2020, LInC ministries formed the Missional Pastoral School (MPS) providing classes to help equip participants with the necessary skills to pursue their callings more effectively as missionaries, pastors and in a wide field of Christian service. The 8-month program invovled education in topics such as Systematic Theology, Hermeneutics, Bible Content and a variety of other pertinent courses and electives.
