The vision of the establishment of a Nigerian congregation of the Presbyterian Church was first proposed during the visit of the Moderator of the 18th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria. The Very Rev. Dr. Ubon B. Usung and the Principal clerk Rev. Ndukwe N. Eme as guests to the 2010 Presbyterian Church in Canada General Assembly. The Nigerian delegation spoke of the great need to have a Nigerian congregation of the Presbyterian Church to cater for the spiritual needs of Nigerian Presbyterians and others living in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). From their visits with Nigerians living here they heard of spiritual hunger for a church which could draw upon their linguistic, ethnic, and cultural heritage.
