Our Community
Arnprior, Ontario is located 55 kilometers northwest of
Ottawa, at the intersection of the Madawaska and Ottawa
Rivers, and is the eastern 'gateway' to the Ottawa Valley.
Our History
The first church service was held in 1869 at the home of Friederich Scheel in McNab Township, five miles from Arnprior. There was not a church building at the time as money and labour were sparse. This early congregation was composed of German speaking immigrants who shared the scripture readings with one another. In 1871, the membership of this church was 11.
