If you rely on GO Transit, Durham Region Transit, or you simply want a church that is easier to reach without a car, starting your search near a GO station can be helpful. This guide focuses on churches near Pickering GO, Ajax GO, Whitby GO, and Durham College Oshawa GO Station.
For this guide, a "short walk" generally means about 1 km or less from the station. "Nearby" generally means roughly 1 to 2 km away. Actual walking distance may vary depending on sidewalks, traffic lights, construction, rail lines, Highway 401 crossings, and the safest available pedestrian route.
Location matters, but it should not be the only factor in choosing a church. A healthy church should faithfully preach the Bible, clearly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, practice meaningful discipleship, care for its people, and help believers worship and obey the Lord together. One of my favorite quotes on the subject is by Pastor Paul Washer, who said, "Do not look for the church nearest to your house. Look for the church closest to the Bible."
