Warden Underground is a church plant in the Greater Toronto Area (Ontario, Canada) aimed at young adults living in communities with social and economic challenges. Jordan Thoms, a resident in the community, and a former gang member and leader, Thoms, began the venture in association with Mennonite Church Eastern Canada and organizations like Connect Leadership Ministries. He developed a core group that volunteered with local social service agencies, and provided one-on-one Bible studies, home visits to provide the community with items such as groceries, and a young adults program. Jordan also started a prison ministry, meeting with young men from his community who found themselves in the prison system.

In 2016 Warden Underground had participation by 30-40 people with an average age of 19-20.
