About GBC

Worship God. Serve People. Proclaim Christ.

Since July 14, 1984, Glenridge Bible Church has been a Bible-based, non-denominational church family in St. Catharines. What began with 44 people and a clear gospel vision has grown into a multi-generational community committed to worshiping God, serving people, and proclaiming Christ with Scripture at the center of all we do.

Glenridge Bible Church was born on July 14, 1984, when 44 people gathered at Mountainview United Church Chapel in St. Catharines. From the beginning, the church set out to be rooted in God's Word, centered on Christ, and devoted to faithful discipleship.

On January 27, 1985, Rev. David Jantzi was inducted as Senior Pastor and served for 35 years. During those years, the congregation met at Lady Spencer Churchill School on Glenridge Avenue, then moved in 1991 to 1 Lakeshore Road, where the ministry continued for the next 21 years.

Across every season, Glenridge has remained committed to local and global missions, children's discipleship, prayer, and AWANA. Much of this ministry has been sustained through the faithful service of volunteers and families.

In 2012, the church moved to its current home at 310 Scott Street. This building also created a long-term partnership with Calvary Christian School, as both ministries steward the property together.

After Pastor Jantzi announced his retirement in 2019, the church entered a prayerful season of pastoral search. Following that process, Pastor Bobby Halek began serving as Senior Pastor on October 1, 2019, continuing Glenridge's commitment to biblical preaching, Christ-centered worship, and gospel mission.

  • Mission: Worship God, serve others, and proclaim Christ.
