Who we are
If you prefer formal worship in a cathedral setting then Alberton Church is probably not for you. However, if you are looking for a church home that resembles the one we are describing here, then we think that you ought to visit Alberton.
What Alberton Church has to offer:
An atmosphere that is not pretentious but cordial, personal and sincere.
A Christian community overflowing with hospitality and friendship.
A Christian community that responds generously to the needs of others.
A charming country church that is as warm and inviting today as when it was built in 1878.
Alberton Church is casual in style and overflowing with hospitality.
A place where casual dress is as acceptable as your Sunday best.
In Worship Alberton Church Offers
Worship services that value the traditional without being enslaved to it.
Worship services that include laughter as well as serious reflection.
Preaching that is conversational in style and hope filled in perspective.
A church where the teachings of Christ are applied to life in the 21st. Century.
Each Sunday worship service concludes with fellowship over tea, coffee and refreshments.
If these are qualities that appeal to you, we invite you to confirm them for yourself.
We understand that God has been gracious to us and we desire to share the blessings that we have found in Christ with those around us.
Visiting Alberton Alberton Church is situated in a tranquil country setting that is right on the edge of the city of Hamilton. While Alberton Church is located on Alberton Road North the property extends out to Wilson Street and so our building is visible from the intersection of Wilson Street and Alberton Road. Alberton Church is only a 20 minute drive (via the Linc and the 403) from almost anyplace on the Mountain or in the west end of the city of Hamilton.
And, as a bonus, we will always have a parking space for you - even if you arrive late.

Leader Bio:
Dr. Bernhardt, who is formally retired after more than 30 years as Minister of Chalmers Church in Hamilton, has been with the Alberton congregation since 2008.
Though his family roots were in this area of Ontario he actually grew up in a rural area of Quebec south of the city of Montreal and near the U.S. border. He senses many similarities between Alberton and the community of his childhood. His university and theological education were completed in Montreal and Philadelphia. Appropriately, the focus of his Doctor of Ministry degree completed in 1996 was 'Mobilizing for Mission: Rejuvenating a Traditional Congregation.'
In keeping with the informal style of the Alberton community, he is often referred to and addressed simply as 'Dr. Bob.'

Alberton Presbyterian Church History
The date stone in the wall over the entrance doors to the Alberton Church reads "Presbyterian Church Alberton A.D. 1878." Now that's a long time ago but the truth is that this is only part of the story. That 1878 date relates to the present building. Actually, a Presbyterian congregation was established and began to meet for worship at this same location in Alberton in 1846 - 32 years earlier.
Imagine! Within 35 years of the War of 1812 Presbyterians in the Alberton area were organizing this congregation. Presbyterians had been meeting for worship in Alberton for 20 years already when Canadian Confederation was enacted in 1867. In a way you could say that the Alberton Church is older than Canada itself.
Presbyterians in Alberton established this congregation almost 30 years before the various Presbyterian groups that had been transplanted in Canada from their roots in Scotland came together to form the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Alberton has been a part of that denomination since its founding in 1875.
And yes, the Alberton Presbyterian Congregation actually existed even before the name Alberton was chosen for the community. Originally called Ancaster West, the name Alberton didn't appear until about 1854.
