We’ve put this site on the web to introduce you to Orillia Baptist Church and to invite you to come and visit us.  You will find information about our various ministries  and the time and location of services.  If you need more information, we invite you to contact us and we will seek to help you.

Our burden is to see God glorified in this world.  We know that before God saved us, we were living completely for ourselves and had no concern for God or that he should be honoured.  But the gospel has made a great difference in our lives.  Though we do it imperfectly, our goal is to live for Christ and to bring praise to God who has rescued us from what we were.

We owe a great deal to God’s work in history.  That is why we identify ourselves as Reformed Baptists.  We have been impacted by the rediscovery of the gospel during the Protestant Reformation.  Our confession of faith comes from the Puritan period in England when many truths of Scripture were being understood and applied to church life and individual discipleship.  We have no desire to be stuck in the past but we believe that God was pleased to reveal many helpful things throughout history that can help us today as we seek to live to the glory of God.

It is our desire that what could be said of many spiritual giants of past centuries could be said of us.  As R.C. Sproul wrote:  “These men all were conquered, overwhelmed, and spiritually intoxicated by their vision of the holiness of God. Their minds and imaginations were captured by the majesty of God the Father. Each of them possessed a profound affection for the sweetness and excellence of Christ. There was in each of them a singular and unswerving loyalty to Christ that spoke of a citizenship in heaven that was always more precious to them than the applause of men.”
