Who we are

We are fabulous people because we serve a fabulous God

Mission Statement

As people of faith, we seek to centre our lives on Jesus Christ. We seek to present Christ to all people in a creative and caring way by our music, our words and our deeds.

We seek to create a loving environment where everyone is accepted and can grow to his or her full potential in Jesus Christ through service, worship, outreach, fellowship and discipleship.

​Welcome

We gather for worship in rich diversity, coming together from many backgrounds, holding many perspectives, to worship one Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

We invite you to share in the journey.

Fourth Avenue Baptist Church

Fourth Avenue Baptist Church is located in Ottawa’s Glebe neighbourhood at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Bank Street.

​Our members represent every demographic from children to more seasoned saints, married and single, and a diverse mix of ethnicities and backgrounds. We would be designated a ‘small church’ though in many ways we do not function as one. The professional team includes an organist, choir director, custodian, church administrator and minister. Our worship music includes a robed choir and a contemporary praise band. The youth ministry is a collaborative effort between Fourth Avenue Baptist and MacPhail Memorial Baptist. The youth ministry arrangement makes possible resource sharing, both curriculum and volunteers, with the additional benefit of intentional relationship building of the young persons in both communities.

Our community involvement includes participation in the annual Glebe Community Garage Sale and we are home to Encore Fashions, selling consignment quality items for men and women. Encore Fashions is open to the public four hours on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. The shop is staffed by volunteers from the church and community. All proceeds support local, national and international charitable work.

We are a member of the Centre Town Churches Social Action Committee (CCSAC) which is an ecumenical group of 23 churches through which member churches reach out to those in central Ottawa who are economically or socially disadvantaged. For further information visit www.centretownchurches.org.

After a year-long discernment process, the congregation began a new ministry to homeless youth 16-24 years old called Haven Too. The partnership with Restoring Hope Ministry to operate an emergency shelter for youth began in December 2015 with 14 young people sleeping overnight. The goal of the ministry is to provide a good meal and a safe place for young people experiences instability in their housing. Volunteers bring and serve the evening meal, provide conversation and connection, watch over the young people over night and provide weekly laundry service.
