Over 100 Years of Faithfulness
Our History
The story of FRBC Windsor is a testament to God's faithfulness within the Windsor community for over 100 years.
- 1923 – 1925
Humble Beginnings
Our community began in early 1923 with the arrival of Teodor Lustrea, later joined by brothers Dumitru and Teodor Balint. By 1925, with help from the First Romanian Baptist Church in Detroit, the "Mission from Canada" was officially formed.
- 1968 – 1978
Growth & Outreach
Under Pastor Teofil D. Talpeș, the church flourished. We launched a Romanian-language radio program on a local station, sharing the Gospel every Sunday morning.
- 1976
Establishing a Home
In December 1976, after much prayer and hard work, we held our first service in our current building at 1696 Cadillac Street.
- Through the years
A Legacy of Ministry
Our history is rich with music and youth involvement — from mandolin orchestras and brass bands to mission trips supporting Romanian churches across Ontario.
- Today
A Living Congregation
Our congregation continues to be a home for those seeking a deep, scriptural connection to God, combining our traditional heritage with a forward-looking vision.

What We Believe
Our Beliefs
Our theology is rooted in the timeless truths of the Bible and the historical Christian faith.
The Holy Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the fully inspired Word of God, without error, and is the ultimate authority for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness.
The Power of Prayer
Prayer is central to our church life. We believe in its great power and strive to support every member and ministry through fervent intercession.
The Great Commission
Following Christ's command, we are dedicated to making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Spiritual Gifts
We believe the responsibility of ministry belongs to all members. We encourage everyone to exercise their spiritual gifts and serve God to their fullest capacity.
Doctrine & Tradition
We identify with Puritan thought and the early Church Fathers, believing that the gifts of the Spirit remain active and vital for the Church today.
Looking Forward
Our Vision
We envision a church that acts as a "general rehearsal for heaven," where every gathering is an opportunity to prepare our hearts for the return of our Lord. Our goal is to be a community motivated not by worldly success, but by deep faithfulness to the work God has entrusted to each of us.
"And let them be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately." — Luke 12:36
