• Orangeville Baptist Church celebrated its 97th birthday on Sunday, June 29. The church dates back to July 1, 1861. In its reference to Orangeville, Mitchell’s Canada Gazetteer and Business Directory 1864-65 names Rev. A. E. Kitchen, B.A., as minister in charge of the Orangeville Baptist congregation at that time. Mr. Kitchen was probably the church’s first pastor.
Do the math and you’ll see that we’ve got a pretty big anniversary coming up in a few years! It will be fun to dream about how to celebrate the past 150 and look ahead with excitement to what God has in store for us.
