RESERVE YOUR ADULT SEAT for 10:30am

Highway is open for in-person services as long as current pandemic protocols are followed - You are invited to join us.

Information you need to know:

Service time is 10:30 a.m.

  • Pre-registration is required
  • Seating is assigned when you arrive
  • Covid-19 protocols are in effect
  • Masks and physical distancing is mandatory
  • You have to check-in upon arrival (for contact tracing purposes)

We will be following all the guidelines from Toronto Public Health and the Ontario Government. We are doing this because we want to make the Highway building a "safer" place.

For those who do not feel comfortable coming into the building at this time, we will continue to provide an online service every Sunday at 10:30 a.m.  

If you plan to attend you will have to register for each service ahead of time (reservations open until Sunday at 9 a.m.). You can do this by clicking the "RESERVE YOUR ADULT SPOT" area on our website.  We also have our children's ministry live and onsite. You will also need to reserve a spot for your child. To do that, just click the button that says "RESERVE YOUR CHILD'S SPOT".

As we relaunch in-person services, we want you to know that some things will be a little different. Our Sunday in-person experience has been carefully prepared to make Highway a safer place as we come together in community to worship God.

Here are some things that may be a little different:

  • You must register ahead of time to reserve your seats (seats are limited), along with everyone in your household who will be attending. (Registration closes at 9 a.m. on Sunday - space permitting).
  • Doors will open 20 minutes before the service time and will be closed 15 minutes after service begins.
  • You must wear a mask (except children under the age of two).
  • You must sanitize your hands and be checked in upon arrival.
  • You will be ushered to your seat and will not be able to choose where you sit.
    This is done to ensure physical distancing capacity protocols are met (a minimum of three empty seats between your household and the household beside you)
  • Services will be approximately 75 minutes in length.
  • There will be no coat racks available – please keep all your belongings with you. 
  • There will be no seats available in the lobby.
  • There will be no visitation permitted in the lobby before or after service. Please, use the lobby to enter and exit the building only.
