The Orchard Park Bible Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON began services and formally organized in 1971. The first building was occupied in 1975, with a subsequent building program in 1995/96. George Wichert and Vic Loewen are considered the founding leaders of the group. The congregation originated through division from Virgil Mennonite Brethren over a desire to use the English language in worship.
In 1975 there were 136 members; in 1985, 185; in 1995, 267; in 2001, 228. The congregation has been affiliated with the Ontario Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches (1971-), the Canadian Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches (1971-) and the General Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches (1971-2002). The language of worship is English.
The church is located at 434 Hunter Rd., R.R. 3, Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON, L0S 1J0. (905) 468-7416. It is 2 km southwest of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Pastor Ray Russell served in 2002 as a fulltime congregational leader.
