Our History

Our History Our journey as a church began in 1953 with the post-war Dutch immigration. We moved from the Moose Hall (which no longer exists), to a basement built in a gravel pit on Orchard Drive, to a church built on that basement where we worshipped for 50 years before building our current facility on College Street West in 2008.

Today, we are a diverse congregation of young and old from every background and walk of life. We have become a well-known presence in Belleville thanks to hosting many community events.

We have room to grow with another 6 acres still open for development behind our building.

What We Believe

We believe in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God, through which He speaks to us about the good news of His love and grace made possible through Christ’s death on the cross and the new life we share through His resurrection and the power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe God is alive and active in our day and that He will make Himself known to those who seek Him with sincere hearts.
