Our History is His Story

We are believing God for great things in the future because we have seen what He has done in the past.

We first started meeting at the Trefoil Lodge which was a small local community centre, used by various clubs around town. Trefoil Lodge was built by volunteers as a headquarters for the Local Girl Guide Association in the summer of 1951. Members of the PAOC churches in Hamilton and Oakville released families to come together and start holding services for Burlington Families here.
