We recognize that “where there is no vision, people will falter…” (Prov. 29:18) so our MISSION and VISION are the foundation of C*Road.
Our MISSION is what we seek to accomplish as a church: TO LOVE AND LIVE LIKE JESUS.
Our VISION is how we accomplish that mission: to share the gospel in the St Lawrence region through community, outrageous generosity, & relational multiplication.
OUR VISION
community
We want to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to create meaningful relationships that will encourage growth to becoming more like Jesus by loving and living like Him. Groups, mentoring, service opportunities, and more - relationships designed for life, growth, and support.
generosity
Followers of Jesus should be the most generous people on the planet. Through our budget and resources, we are moving towards a 70/30 mindset that sees us lovingly invest 30% of our resources into missional efforts locally, regionally, and worldwide.
multiplication
We desire to pursue growth through intentional and strategic planting of ministry hubs throughout the St. Lawrence region. These hubs will become “outposts” from which the gospel can grow and produce disciples from all nations.
OUR MISSION
TO LOVE AND LIVE LIKE JESUS
Our Story
-
C*Road has its roots in the Brockville Standard Church which began in 1921 when a number of students from the Brockville Bible College began to meet for worship with others from the local community. A cement block building was erected at 100 Perth Street in 1923 to accommodate this small congregation.
In the 1970’s the leadership of the Standard Church of America had a dream to combine the efforts of the General Conference headquarters, Brockville Bible College, and the Brockville Standard Church and build a ministry complex that would share funds, buildings, and personnel. Brockville Standard Church had already purchased 3 ½ acres to build a church on Centennial Road. The denomination came along side and purchased 48 more acres with the dream of building a combined ministry complex for the church, the Bible College, and the headquarters. But the financial status of the Bible College and the denomination became tenuous. God had blessed the local church with growth so the denomination gave permission to the Brockville Standard Church to proceed and build on college and headquarters land, still with the view of someday cooperating in a joint venture.

On May 24, 2003 Centennial Road Standard Church voted to merge with the Central Canada District of the Wesleyan Church. On September 16, 2007, Centennial Road Church voted to follow the direction of our denomination into full merger.
Our lead pastor, Jason Frizzell, and family began to lead C*Road in 2020 with a vision to see the church honour its past by growing the church in Lyn locally and by growing the church regionally through multiple church expressions in the St Lawrence region.

Located on the grounds of Centennial Road Church, and created through the generosity of an anonymous donor, the garden is approximately one acre in size and replicates the original Garden of Hope in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Visitors can enjoy the quiet environment while surrounded by the beautiful pond, waterfall, rocks, flowers and statues of Jesus. 17 Gardens of Hope exist in the United States and one in Romania. The garden at Centennial Road Church is the only one located in Canada. The goal of this garden and faith walk is to be a place of reflection and healing, comfort and joy, and meditation for everyone in the community and visitors from afar.
