Flourish House is a young adult intentional community located just beside ESG United Church in Toronto.
Residents are supported to move beyond a roommate model of living and towards one of abundant community in the home and beyond. Flourish House residents are encouraged to develop in their relationships with God, self, each other, the broader young adult community, ESG, and the surrounding neighbourhood. By cultivating deep hospitality and care for one another in their common space, Flourish House residents seek out opportunities to extend the fruits of this love in the community outside the home by offering events for young adults across Toronto, supporting ministries within ESG, and more.
Jamie Gibson is from Guelph and is a first year MDiv student at Emmanuel College. He has a keen interest in outreach initiatives to those unfamiliar with Church and in solidarity programs that attend to the material needs of unhoused people. He is a songwriter in his spare time. Jamie is excited to become acquainted with Toronto and the community at ESG. He hopes that he can find in Flourish House an opportunity for others and for himself to flourish.
