Centennial Park Baptist Church
has been a part of the Grimsby community since 1876 as an active,
people oriented, Bible-believing church.
Our goal is to
teach, encourage, disciple, assist, and promote Christian fellowship,
service, and growth. This all in accordance with the teachings of God's
Word, the Bible.
Whatever your
age, interest or needs, or whether you are single, a parent or a young
person, there is an activity and a group of friendly people who will
make you feel welcome. If you're a neighbour or just visiting the area,
we extend a friendly welcome to worship and meet with us.
The commitment
of the Centennial Park Baptist Church family is to boldly reach out in
love to our community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is the opening statement of the Vision for this body of believers
and it expresses our commitment to God the Father, in Jesus Christ
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Centennial
Park Baptist Church is a member of the Niagara-Hamilton Association of
Baptist Churches and the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec
(formerly BCOQ). We were incorporated in 1998.
