What to expect
Each week, with the help of volunteers, we transform a high school gym and classrooms into a church. Worship music, host and prayer, and preaching. Full children’s environments and programming. Welcoming lobby environments, including coffee of course.
At Sanctus Church, we take a ‘come as you are’ approach. Some people dress in suits, others in jeans and a t-shirt.

Meet the Site Pastor
Lucas Prado
Lucas Prado is originally from Brazil, where he used to serve as a pastor in a big church and worked full-time in the financial industry in Sao Paulo city. After a clear direction from God, Lucas and his wife Maria moved to Canada in 2014 and, since then, the family grew with their 2 kids: Nina and Ben.
Lucas holds bachelors of Economics & International Relations in Brazil and Master of Divinity from Tyndale University.
His heart is seeing a genuine revival in Pickering with the manifestation of God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
