Flourish House: An Intentional Community

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
I’m Jamie Gibson, a resident of Flourish House! I am a graduate student at Emmanuel College in Toronto. I have worked as an activist and as a spiritual care provider; a songwriter and performer; and a student-minister in the United Church of Canada. My interests include outreach to non-religious people and developing a message of justice and hope in the midst of the decline of the credibility of institutions and ecological conditions. I absolutely love cinema and cultural criticism from a spiritual and theological lens!
