About Us

ABC belongs to the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec. Our Church was founded in 1864 and the building was erected in 1868 We cherish the spiritual heritage of the founding members as well as the quaintness of the building.

Pastor Paul Benson graduated from Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener, Ontario in 1970. He began his ministry at Neustadt Baptist Church near Hanover, Ontario, and has also pastored in the London, Haliburton and Almonte areas. He served as Chaplain at St. Joe's Hospital in London and for a period of 10 years owned and operated a private music business.

God has called Pastor Paul to the unique ministry of planting new churches, restoring both spiritually and physically churches that have almost closed their doors, to eventually leading the church into building expansion projects. Pastor Paul has been at ABC for 3 years and continues to see a once small church grow and mature in Christ.

Linda, Paul's wife, works with him as a team and leads the music ministry at the church. They have 3 adult children and currently 10 grandchildren. They enjoy sharing their love for the Lord through music, and spending quality time with family and friends.

ABC is a warm and friendly church family and we invite you to join us and experience the joy of loving God and loving each other.

Mission Statement

1. To disciple and equip the followers of Jesus Christ to become mature spiritual ambassadors for Him.
2. To be a church of compassion comprised of praying believers willing to give themselves for the cause of the lost.
3. Building bridges between the congregation and the area of Mississippi Mills with the specific purpose of providing an effective outreach to those who do not know Christ as Saviour and Lord, to enrich their spirits, lives and homes.
