Centennial Park Baptist Church has been a part of the Grimsby community since 1876 as an active, people oriented, Bible-believing church. It is a member of the Niagara-Hamilton Association of Baptist Churches which is affiliated with the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec. Goals include teaching, encouraging, disciplining and assisting one another. This church aims to promote Christian fellowship, service and growth, 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.

This church exists to enable everyone to "Know Christ, to Show Christ, and to Serve Christ". The commitment of the Centennial Park Baptist Church family is to boldly reach out in love to their community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the opening statement of the Vision for this body of believers, and it expresses their commitment to God the Father, in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

To Know Christ: Make Biblical decisions at all times, pray for wisdom and discernment in those decisions and put on the full armour of God against satanic warfare.

To Show Christ: Show kindness, respect and understanding to each other and the church body. Provide leadership, together with the Pastoral staff, in the spiritual and temporal oversight of Centennial Park Baptist Church.

To Serve Christ: Help others to grow in Christ, service without complaint and be available to pray in the prayer room for the Pastors and members of the church. Come to the meetings prepared to serve Christ and His church.

Whether you are a neighbour or just visiting the area, we extend a friendly welcome to worship and meet with us.
