About

Consider this your invitation to visit Mississauga International  Baptist Church.  You will find friendly people, helpful preaching and teaching, and a place where you will feel right at home.  Recognizing the need of modern day people and families, we at MIBC offer practical solutions to today's challenges and problems.

 

Everyone of us has spiritual needs. Everyone of us has a soul that will spend eternity somewhere. At MIBC we believe the Bible has the answers to life's most important questions and we await the opportunity to share those answers with you. If you have ever wondered if life could have more meaning or be more victorious - why not come and see for yourself?  We believe you will be glad you did.

 

Your Friend,

 

Pastor Brian Thiessen

 

Our Staff  

 

Brian Thiessen has been in pastoral ministry for the past 23 years, He was born and raised near Vancouver, British Columbia, and moved to southern Ontario with his family in September of 1995 after pastoring in Langley, BC for seven years. In the fall of 1997, the Lord led our Pastor to establish the Mississauga International Baptist Church with three founding families. God has blessed, and the church now has an average attendance of close to 200 on Sunday mornings.

 

Pastor Thiessen places emphasis on "Building Better Lives" as the Biblical philosophy of ministry for MIBC. This philosophy is based on 1 Cor 3: 6-9. Every Sunday, you will be challenged by our pastor's messages with thorough Biblical content and strong practical application.

 

Pastor Thiessen and his wife Cindy have six children and make their home in southwest Brampton.  

 

 

Lynda LePage worked in the Computer Support area for many years. In 2002,  she took a complete change in direction and came to work at MIBC as Pastor Thiessen’s personal secretary and Church Secretary. She also worked part time for a small renovating company until 2006 when she became full time at MIBC. To ensure she doesn’t have too much idle time, Lynda also does the bookkeeping for Baptist Missions to Forgotten Peoples.

She relaxes by scrap booking and playing with her kitty Houdini.  

Our History  

Early in December of 1996 Pastor Thiessen was approached by Dr. William Hiltz who asked him if he would pray about and consider planting an Independent Baptist Church in the city of Mississauga.  After some time in prayer Pastor Thiessen was convinced that God had called him to plant and pastor this new church.  At an empty church parking lot in Townsend, ON God led him to a passage in Luke 5:4 “Launch out into the deep and Let down your nets for a draught”.

 

Prior to establishing the church Pastor Thiessen and Dr. Hiltz learned of property on Tenth Line & Trelawny that was available, and was to be donated to a gospel preaching church.  The property ended up being donated to Harvest Baptist Church which had already been established at the time.

 

The first service of Mississauga International Baptist Church was held on October 1st, 1997 on the eighth floor apartment of Dr. & Mrs. William Hiltz on Kirwin Ave.  There were 13 people present that evening who signed the charter and organized the church.  The original families included the William & Joan Hiltz, Bruce & Donna Cook Cook, Stan and Brenda Kamps and Pastor Brian & Cindy Thiessen.
