Administrative history

Hope United Church in Toronto was established in 1925, formerly Hope Methodist Church. Founded in 1884 as Hope Methodist Tabernacle, it was located on the south side of Danforth Avenue near Main Street. In 1900, the congregation moved to a new building on the northwest corner of Danforth and Main. A replacement building on the same site was dedicated in 1930. The address of Hope United Church is 2550 Danforth Avenue. It is still an active congregation of the United Church of Canada.

Soon after its establishment in 1884, Hope Methodist became part of the Scarborough Circuit. By 1886, however, Hope constituted a separate circuit known as York Circuit. From 1890 to 1911, the circuit was known as East York Circuit and after that date, the name Hope was used consistently.
