Grandview has always been known as a place where all newcomers can feel safe, comfortable and welcome. Some have told us it feels like coming home, and we hope you will feel the same.

We are Grandview...

We are Grandview, a community church located in the southeast corner of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. We want you to know that wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we're here to help.

Grandview is big enough for you to blend in and investigate the claims of Jesus Christ on your own, if you choose. Or, if you are looking for authentic relationships, you can join a small group of friends who meet to help each other along their spiritual journey.

Our Mission

Grandview is a community of Christ followers whose purpose is to equip and encourage one another to grow in our relationship with God, loving him completely, others sacrificially and reaching out to a hurting world. (Ephesians 4, Matthew 28)

Our Background

Grandview was born from a vision for a brand new church, given to the leaders of First Baptist Church in Waterloo. They were passionate about establishing a new church in southeast Kitchener. The first service was in October of 1969, at Grand River Collegiate, Grandview's first "home" for nearly four years. The church began with 54 founding members. In the early 1970's, God provided land just outside of Kitchener. The original property, with adjoining pond had an old two-storey log farmhouse. In 1973, Grandview began the first phase to construct a new facility. The second phase followed in 1984, and included the worship centre. The current facility was completed in 2003.

Who We're Becoming...

Thirty nine years after that first service at Grand River Collegiate, over 1500 people call Grandview home. It is a dynamic family of Christ-followers that changes every day! But our focus is not on the "bricks and mortar" of Grandview, or how many people attend each week; it's on who we're becoming. Our goal is that every person at Grandview will embrace these six "foundations":

  1. Belonging by being part of a small group of Christ-followers who truly know each other
  2. Worshiping both at church on Sunday and in our daily lives
  3. Caring and being cared for; dealing with hurts, hang-ups and habits
  4. Learning from God's Word, our manual for life
  5. Serving others by being part of a serving team
  6. Reaching out to our community of Kitchener-Waterloo, and the world, with the news of Jesus
