Little Current Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses

The Little Current Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is a Canadian nonprofit religious organization based in Little Current, Ontario. It operates under the business registration number 747560282RR0001 and is part of the global community of Jehovah's Witnesses, a Christian denomination known for its distinct beliefs and active preaching work.

History

The congregation was officially established in June 1965 with fewer than a dozen members who initially met in a rented house on Vankoughnet Street West. By the early 1970s, the membership had grown significantly, reaching around 35 individuals. This growth led the congregation to purchase land on Wilson Street East in Little Current, where they built their first Kingdom Hall, a dedicated place of worship. Over the years, the congregation has continued to grow and evolve, marking its progression from a small group meeting in a home to a well-established religious community with a dedicated Kingdom Hall.

Worship and Activities

The Little Current Congregation meets twice weekly for worship and teaching sessions. Their meetings emphasize Bible study, discussion, and practical application of biblical principles, often including audience participation. Meetings are open to the public and conducted in a welcoming, informal atmosphere without any fees or collections. Unique to this congregation is a service conducted in the Odawa language, reflecting the community’s cultural heritage.

Kingdom Hall

In 2017, the congregation planned the construction of a new Kingdom Hall at its Wilson Street property to replace the older building. This initiative was led by skilled members of the congregation, many of whom have experience as tradespeople. The new Kingdom Hall symbolizes both the physical and spiritual growth of the congregation since its inception.

Mission and Community Role

The congregation aligns with the broader Jehovah’s Witnesses mission of preaching about God’s Kingdom and promoting biblical teachings. Members actively engage in community outreach and evangelism, aiming to share their faith and support the spiritual needs of the local population.
