About Kennedy Road Church of the Nazarene

Kennedy Road Church of the Nazarene was incorporated in the province of Ontario on July 13, 1957, and organized on October 6, 1957. Rev. Robert Fowler, pastor of the Main Street Church, and some faith-filled and committed individuals believed that God was about to do something special in the Kennedy/ Corvette area. So, this group began holding a children's Sunday school program at Corvette School. On May 22nd, 1957, a $500.00 deposit was made for the land on which our church is presently situated. Initially, tent meetings were held and later a portable building was erected. This eventually resulted in the organization of Kennedy Road Church of the Nazarene with 26 charter members. Our current building was completed on June 30, 1963. An education wing and gymnasium were added in 1972. The sanctuary was extended in 1978 to provide additional seating, An enlarged foyer and kitchen facilities were added in the 1980's. In 1975, our daycare was launched. Today, Kennedy Road Kiddy Kare continues to minister to approximately 64 children. In 1978, we started a new ministry in Pickering, That ministry still exists today as the Altona Road Church of the Nazarene. In 2011, we once again gave birth to a new congregation, the Kennedy Road Star of David Haitian Church of the Nazarene, which was restarted and renamed in July 2016 as the Good Shepherd Community Church of the Nazarene. To God be the Glory!
