History of CCM Toronto Centre
CCM is the short form for Chinese Christian Mission, which was founded in 1961 in the U.S. Because Chinese people can be found in every corner of the globe, CCM offices were established in Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore and Australia in 1961, 1965, 1970, 1977 and 1993 respectively.
Entering the 80’s, in response to the explosion of the Chinese population in Canada, CCM Canada was established in 1981, based in Vancouver. Subsequently in 1992, 2000, and 2003, CCM Centres were established in Calgary, Vancouver and Montreal.
