The 1970s - The maturing Sansei portion of the church was growing in the early 1970s and hit their peak numbers in the mid-70s. The Sunday School reached an enrollment of nearly 200, necessitating renovations for classroom space.

As a further response, the congregation leased the North Camp (renamed Camp Koyu) of the United Church's Lake Scugog Camp about 50 miles east of Toronto. This was an important aspect of our church life and activities; a place to meet for summer camps, worship services and spring and fall retreats. It was a place to bring and make friends, develop leadership skills, and a place to examine oneself with respect to God. The camp brought many new people to the church, sometimes with the children leading the parents.

We also saw the emerging prominence of the younger Nisei members holding positions within the church once held only by the older charter members.

At the very end of the decade, youth participation started to fall as many headed to university in out-of-town centres. Some felt that they outgrew what the church had to offer and went to explore new endeavours.
