For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; His faithfulness continues
through all generations. -Psalm 100:5

The Early Years
The roots of the Christian Reformed Church can be traced back to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.The first Christian Reformed Church in North America was established in 1857. Today, ClearView Christian Reformed Church is just one of over 900 Christian Reformed churches in North America.

Our congregation's history began shortly after the second World War as thousands of European immigrants arrived on the shores of Canada searching for a new beginning and a better quality of life for their families. Among them were men, women and children from the Netherlands. Several of these families settled in the Port Credit / Clarkson area of Mississauga.

The small church began in 1948 with two Dutch immigrant families and numerous single men. Worship services took place initially in the United Church in Dixie and shortly afterward in the Dixie Presbyterian Church. Although the founders spoke little or no English, they decided from the very beginning to have at least one worship service each Sunday spoken in the English language.

The church members' steadfast trust in God led them towards a goal of creating a permanent place to worship and to give thanks to God. In June of 1953, a property was purchased in the village of Clarkson. Construction of a new building began shortly afterward and the new church was officially opened dedicated on March 2, 1955. The church adopted the name "Clarkson Christian Reformed Church".

On the Move to Clearview
Today our membership is increasingly reflective of the cultural diversity of our community. Shortly after celebrating the church's 50th anniversary, a movement began to build a new church facility to better meet the needs of our ministries and activities. On May 12, 2002, the congregation voted in favour of selling our building in Clarkson and constructing a new church facilty in the nearby Oakville neighbourhood of Clearview. Construction began on the new seven-acre site in February of 2004.

Upon completion of our new church in November, 2004, the church's name was changed to ClearView Christian Reformed Church to reflect our new community. We are excited to be a part of the Clearview community and trust that God will continue to be faithful in this new chapter of His church.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
May He continue to direct our steps in the future.
