Community Bible Church (St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada)
The congregation began services in 1992 and formally organized in 1993. Vic Ratzlaff is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through separation from the Fairview Mennonite Brethren Church over concerns about leadership style of pastors. The congregation closed in 2009, holding their last service on 11 January.
In 1993 worship was held at the Armenian Community Centre; in 2001 meetings were held at the Russel Ave. Community Centre. Pastor Dave McMillan served in 2001 as a congregational leader.
