Timothy Eaton Memorial Church, in Toronto, Ontario, was erected at 230 St. Clair Avenue West in 1914 as a Methodist congregation, and it was named for department store founder Timothy Eaton.
It is one of two United Church congregations in the area, the other being Deer Park United Church, formerly Presbyterian. It is a member of the Churches on the Hill.
This congregation has been known for its preaching ministry and music, and it has maintained radio and later internet broadcasts of its services. Famed Air Force Ace Billy Bishop was married in the church, and his funeral was held from there four decades later.[1]
The present Senior Minister is the Rev. Dr. Andrew Stirling.
