FreeChurch Toronto was planted in January 2001 by Todd Cantelon and Gord Marriage as Freedomize Toronto. They felt called to plant a church “for our peers, by our peers.” Then meeting at St. Andrew’s on University and King, David McGhee was quickly added into leadership and served for eight years as a pastor, an integral voice in the formation of our unique creative culture as a church.

Later Cyril Guerette joined the team and eventually became Senior Pastor. The group moved to St. Stephen-in-the-Fields in the Kensington neighbourhood in 2009.

Jon Osmond joined the leadership team in 2013, the same year FreeChurch became an associate member of the Ontario Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches.

The group has always seen itself as an outreach to young adults, both professional and students. In 2017 it has services at two locations. Its mission statement in 2017 was: "To Be a Light in Our City: Loving God and Loving Our Neighbours."
