Milliken Wesleyan Methodist Church
Milliken Church came into being when a small group of people attending Amroth Wesleyan Church in Toronto committed to begin a new church in the northeast section of town. On September 7, 1980, under the leadership of Rev. Alan Summers, the first service was held at Silver Springs Public School. Twenty-five people attended.
During the seasons that followed, God led people from many nations to this place of worship. Many changes have taken place since our first days; including two moves, five pastors, one merger and lots of neighbourhood change.
God continues to lead and bless as we will be celebrating our 40th year in communion with Christ in 2025.
