It was the fall of 1951 and a small group of Christians had just finished construction on what was then known as the "Maple Street Gospel Hall". A new church in Clinton had started, and much excitement surrounded the event.
Over the years, new families started attending and the numbers increased. 1970 saw the name of the building changed to "Fellowship Bible Chapel", but the teaching and beliefs remained the same as they had from the very start.
Since, many have been a part of our local testimony including the families of Munnings, Lowey, Reid, Cox, Martin, Haris, Brubacher, Avery, MacKenzie, Gelling, Nicholson, Plant, Lobb, among others.
The assembly has also had the privilege to commend many to the Lord's work around the world. These include Fred & Hilda Munnings, Hank & Beryl Gelling, Esther Martin, Rhoda Munnings, and Florence Martin.
In October of 2001 was the date of our move up Highway #4 to our current location at the former municipal office in Londesoborough. The well-constructed building and 2 acres of land serves as the ideal facility for our many activites.
We meet together each week to remember the Lord Jesus Christ and all he has done for us. We teach the complete Word of God, pray together, and build each other up as we live our daily lives.
The Bible alone is our guide and we accept it to be infallible, inspired by God Himself, and completely sufficient for this present age. We meet simply in the name of Christ and look to Him as the head and authority of our lives.
The Bible teaches the plurality of leadership and, as such, we do not have a single pastor, but a group of leaders.
Not something to be kept quiet, the good news of the Lord Jesus and the salvation He offers is a truth we wish to share with others around us. Open-air meetings in the summer, home-based Bible studies, and informal "coffee hours" are ways in which we have enjoyed interacting with our neighbours through the years.
