Our Story
The church that meets at Malton Bible Chapel is a community of Christians affiliated with no denominational group, seeking to function according to the principles of gathering given in the New Testament. We recognize our interdependence and our mutual responsibility to bear one another’s burdens and so to fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2
What We Believe
Our activity in the community is based on the direction of our Lord Jesus Christ when He said:
“All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach (make disciples of) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”
A Brief History of
Malton Bible Chapel
A local assembly began in Malton, Ontario.
1963
In November 1963, at the invitation of two area families, the assembly met for the first time at what is now Malton Baptist Church. These first families included The Thomases, The Hannans and the Connors. They were soon joined by The Ennises and then the Pooles. Later the assembly moved to Ridgewood Public School for their meetings; and eventually to our current location.
“Malton was a hub of aircraft building, beginning in the 1930s and intensifying during the Second World War. The Wartime Housing Commission built special housing for aircraft workers, and then constructed the Victory School in 1942, on Victoria Crescent, to house the many new students in the area. The school closed in 1964.”
