The Wallenstein Bible Chapel at Wallenstein, Ontario began services about 1933, and formally organized in 1934. The first building was occupied in 1939, with a subsequent building program in 1968. Henry Janzen and Frank Guthrie are considered founding leaders of the group. The congregation originated through outreach by Plymouth Brethren and individuals.
Wallenstein Bible Chapel began as a Sunday school in Hawkesville with strong appeal to conservative Mennonite groups. In the early years the group's strongest links were to the Mennonite Brethren and the Brethren Assemblies.
Elder John M. Martin served as a early congregational leader. The congregation has been affiliated with the Plymouth Brethren. The language of worship is English.
The church is located .7 km south of Wallenstein on Waterloo Regional Road 10.
