Denomination: Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec
Welcome to McPhail Memorial Baptist Church. We are an historic church having just celebrated 125 years of mission and service in 2013. But while we grateful for our past, we also seek to be freshly relevant for today’s times. And we attempt to do that in offering preaching that doesn’t engage in the answering of questions no one is asking, but seeks to connect the issues and concerns of today with the timeless truths of the Bible, presented in a way that seeks to inspire as well as instruct. Our minister, Rev. Ernie Cox, delivers his sermons with humour, fresh illustrative material and a kind of thoughtfulness that comes from being widely read, leaving us with something from the sermon to think about Sunday by Sunday.
We are a diverse group of people, an intergenerational church, a church that has a friendly, family like feel to it, where people care for each other, where people are more important than programs.
We come together at 10:30 Sunday mornings to meet God, and to meet each other. Our style of worship leans toward the traditional, but our music is lively, where you will hear the grand old hymns sung with fervent joy, for we believe that the hymns of the faith with the depth of their music and poetry, transcend all trends and speak to hearts in a manner no other medium of music is able to do.
We have a lively group of children and young people who make up a vibrant Sunday school. There is a “Sunday School Time” within the service, led by Lynda Cox, who with winsome humour and joy gives to the children, to the young people, as well as to the adults, fresh spiritual insight every Sunday.
Our minister, Rev. Ernie Cox is well-known throughout the city of Ottawa for his musical talents. He has performed Black gospel music with the Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir, as well as performing in the Ottawa BluesFest, the Ottawa Folk Festival, and other venues. Every Christmas season he presents “A Christmas Gospel Celebration” at the NAC—Fourth Stage, two sold out evenings of Black Gospel music.

The people of McPhail Memorial Baptist Church will warmly welcome you for worship, and promise that when you leave the service you will feel like you’ve “been to church!”
We look forward to having you visit with us.
