About us.

Welcome! At Chesley Baptist Church we are a community of imperfect people dedicated to learning to live and love like Jesus Christ. Since 1914 people have gathered at our location in rural Chesley, Ontario.

Dean and Maxine Bender came in 2008 to pastor and lead the tradition of service and devotion to Jesus Christ. They served tirelessly, and their love for our church and community left a life-changing impact on all who knew them. They retired in 2024. After over a year of searching and growing together as a church family, God brought John and Jill Oleniuk to our church in November 2025 to continue leading our church forward. We are thrilled to welcome them and look forward to all that God will do as we gather and grow in our faith.

Join us on Sundays. All are welcome.
