KBC will work to avoid conflicts but reserves the right to cancel any booking with up to 24 hours notice. This will only happen with extenuating situations.

Event Content and Activities

You will be asked about your event content and planned activities to ensure material and activities are consistent with the Values and Beliefs of KBC.

If you are planning a fundraiser, please note lotteries, bingo, raffles, or other games of chance are not considered acceptable fundraising activities.

Any recurring program agreements require renewal annually.

Values and Beliefs

While the facilities of Kanata Baptist Church are available for use by community groups, we request the understanding and cooperation of all groups to respect the underlying values and beliefs of the congregation. If your group's activities promote some other religious practices or views, or if your group's activities are ostensibly in conflict with those stated values and beliefs, we would respectfully ask you to consider arrangements with an alternate facility in our community. If you are uncertain whether your group's activities would be in conflict or you would like further clarification on this matter, please contact the church office.

In its simplest expression, we believe that the Bible is God's divine Word for all people - it reveals God's plan for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and calls all people to a new life in a living relationship with Him. We are orthodox regarding traditional Christian theology, evangelical in our expressions, and we tend to be more on the conservative end of the scale compared to some other Christian denominations.

This statement of faith, prepared by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, affirms the core teachings of our shared understanding of faith.

The Holy Scriptures, as originally given by God, are divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy, and constitute the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh; we affirm his virgin birth, sinless humanity, divine miracles, vicarious and atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, ongoing mediatorial work, and personal return in power and glory.
The salvation of lost and sinful humanity is possible only through the merits of the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, received by faith apart from works, and is characterized by regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit enables believers to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Church, the body of Christ, consists of all true believers.
Ultimately God will judge the living and the dead, those who are saved unto the resurrection of life, those who are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
