Our History

The Ottawa Church of God was first organized in June 1975 under the leadership of Rev. McIntyre and his assistant, Rev. C.B. Blake. This congregation began with a small group of believers who first met for Prayers and Bible Studies at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Wisdom. The Lord continued to bless His work in such a tremendous way that in November 1981 the Church purchased a larger place of worship at 1319 Wellington Street. By 1990, the Church needed more space and God provided for the purchase of 1820 Carling Avenue. In 1994, Rev. & Mrs. Blake were appointed Regional Overseer for Ontario and Superintendent of Canada. Consequently, Rev. & Mrs. R.C. Hugh Nelson were called to Pastor the Ottawa Church of God. In 2003, Bishop & Mrs. Nelson were called to Pastor the East Flatbush Church of God in New York. Bishop J.W. Bruno was appointed as the Senior Pastor of the Ottawa Church of God in 2003. His lovely wife Renny oversees the Ladies Ministries in the Ottawa District. Together they are producing excellent results for the Lord To God be the Glory!
