ABOUT US

Together we are a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The Bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers. 

 

We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found.

 

We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

OUR HISTORY

SMALL BEGINNINGS

In 1992, Steve and Pam Stewart sensed a calling from God to start a new church in Stittsville that would reach non-churched people. Steve became the first pastor and Community Bible Church began with a vision to communicate, "You matter to God", to the community.

Space was rented in a local elementary school where a small group of people set up and worshipped every Sunday. It was a lot of work but by 1994, over 100 people were attending. In 1996, a youth ministry, as well as a worship ministry, were added. In May of 1999, the church moved to a high school in Kanata. People were becoming followers of Jesus and being baptized. In January 2009, a commercial building on Stittsville's Main Street was purchased. Everyone joined in the renovation work, giving their time to make "our church". We opened our doors in October 2009.

There continue to be challenging, exciting and fulfilling times for us at Community Bible Church and there is yet so much more we can do! We want to be a church where the community loves to attend and where people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
