History & Purpose

Oakridge Bible Chapel was established in 1986 in northeast Oakville. We are an independent evangelical community church, led by a team of elders. We seek to work in unity and cooperation with other evangelical churches and organizations, but are not affiliated with any specific denomination or group.

We affirm the whole Bible – the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments – as the complete and inspired Word of God, and as the only basis for our beliefs. Our purpose is not to add to biblical truth, but simply to summarize our understanding of key principles that relate to our church fellowship, and to describe how we seek effectively to work out our calling as a church in our community.

We exist as a church fellowship in Oakville to bring glory to God through our love for Him, our love for each other and our obedience to His teaching. We describe this purpose, based on the Lord Jesus Christ’s great commandments (Matthew 22:37-40) and great commission (Matthew 28: 18-20), and the great examples of the early church (Acts 2: 42-47), in the following way, to:

• Worship God together
• Serve each other and our Lord with our spiritual gifts
• Share our faith
• Connect with each other in fellowship
• Grow in maturity as Christians

Our vision is to be a centre of Biblical excellence in Oakville, teaching, guiding and supporting each other to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
