Canby Evangelical Church

Story

Canby Evangelical Church is the oldest continuous congregation in Canby. The church was established in 1884, and we have been ministering to the community for over 130 years. In those 130 years, Canby has changed dramatically and so has the church, However, we believe that the Bible does not change, and the principles of the Bible apply to our lives today as much as they did to our founders in 1884.

You will find that Canby Evangelical Church is not just a church but a fellowship of believers who love Jesus and each other. At CEC, you can expect to hear Bible-based preaching, experience a warm reception from loving people, and be encouraged to live a Spirit-filled life. Our worship is a blend of traditional hymns and more contemporary Christian songs. We would love to have you join us as we know you will be welcomed from the moment you enter the door.

Our worship sanctuary was built in 1893 and has the feel of an old county church but with modern technology. An education wing was added in the 1950's and remodeled and updated in 2007. In 2014, we dedicated a new building that is a combination office complex and youth facility. All of these are handicapped accessible. Parking is available in the main lot, in the gravel lot behind the church, and in the grass field next to the church.

Mission

Our purpose is to love and worship God, to lead others into a relationship with Jesus Christ, and to encourage each person to grow in faith and loving service to God and one another.
