Raising the walls, 1972

Richmond Bethel Church was formed in 1970, but we have a heritage as part of the Mennonite Brethren that goes back to the mid-1500's. We are a Bible believing church whose lives have been changed because of the person of Jesus Christ.  

• late 1950s - a Sunday School mission starts on Westminster Highway near No. 2 Road in Richmond.
• June 1970 - a small group organizes to form Richmond Bethel Church, and meets at the mission.
• 1972 - the church expands and relocates to a parcel of land at 10200 No. 5 Road.
• 1975 - a Christian school launches on the site.
• 1977 - a daycare opens on the site and continues for the next 17 years.
