Ira Carty is the founding Pastor for Next Dimension Ministries which is a new Church plant within the Pentecostal Holiness Church in Canada; an intercultural, intergenerational Church in Scarborough.

Although Ira has operated within the pastoral office for the past eight years, his primary gift is that of an evangelist. His passion and love for Christ is the driving force within his life, which began at the tender age of six. At the age of 18, he fully devoted his life purposes to the will of God, pledging to go in pursuit of that which he then realized he was called to. His passion for evangelism and missions has taken him to such places as Kenya, Korea, USA and the Caribbean

On the day of Pentecost, Diaspora Jews gathered in Jerusalem witnessed the undoing of the curse of the Tower of Babel. The wall of suspicion, prejudice and hostility collapsed as diverse people groups heard the apostles praising God in their own language. As they were amazed, they realized that the new day of God's redemption had dawned. Not only were individuals brought to the saving grace of God, but also ethnic groups were reconciled to each other through the workings of the Holy Spirit. Reconciliation is the picture of God's new covenant reality ("After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb" - Rev. 7:9).

Next Dimension Ministries is a community dedicated to this new reality in "Seeing the Nations worship Christ." June 1st 2008 mark the launching of this new ministry within the Scarborough community. We are a new Church plant within the Pentecostal Holiness Church of Canada. As a Church this is what we are called to pursue:

1. Bridging the divide between race, gender and generations, through the raising up of a generation of intercultural and intergenerational leaders, who are defined by their passionate witness for Christ.

2. Giving our lives sacrificially as our act of worship to God in being Christ's arms, heart, hands and feet extended over our community and our world, with each stride taken leading us into the 'Next Dimension'.

As a community we are destined to be faithful to the calling of the Church in being participants in the Missio Dei (the Mission of God) in bringing about healing and redemption to our world. The Church exists primarily to be Missional. We are the sent people of God. As the Father sent the Son and the Son sends the Spirit, so do the Father, Son and Holy Spirit send us into the world to continue Christ's mission.

We recognize that healing and redemption can only happen in the context of relationship and so we are committed in being a community that creates space for the formation of relationships and opportunity for everyone to contribute to the life, health and witness of the community (irrespective of age, gender and race).
