Waterloo River of Life Christian Church of Canada, established by the Toronto River of Life of Canada, was started in November 2013 at the Preparatory Office in Waterloo, Ontario. At first, Preacher Chen preached and led 5, 6 brothers and sisters who loved the Lord to set up group meetings and Sunday worship, and then officially established a branch church in October 2015. Preacher Chen actively participates in music ministry and has the gift of leading worship and praise. In 2013, she was called by God to join the team of ROLCC, and at the same time entered the equipment of River of Life Pastoral Leadership Academy. In 2014, she participated in the healing service of the Canadian Healing Room and was ordained as a pastor at the ROLCC in Ottawa in October 2019. The Church is continually growing because of God’s faithful guidance. Not only is the population growing, the faith of the brothers and sisters is also thriving.  

Waterloo River of Life Christian Church of Canada inherited the vision and mission of the mother church, actively extended mission ministry, and prepared to develop the evangelism and pastoral work for the students at the University of Waterloo. Under the shepherd and guidance of Pastor Chen, the church has regular cell groups, women's associations, brothers’ associations, children and youth ministry, and established Timothy Youth Life Group for college students. At the same time, the church devoted itself to the construction of families so that God's grace and love manifested in every family. After more than two years of global epidemic, the church's ministry has been protected by God and passed through peacefully, and physical gathering was resumed in September 2022. Starting in 2024, the church will focus more on “winning the young people of this generation for the Lord!” Realizing that many churches are beginning to age, especially Chinese churches, pastors and co-workers understand that God thrives among young people. In today’s era, it is indeed a great challenge to attract young people to the church, but God loves the church and will show us everything he does. With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. This year the whole church will do its best to pass on life and create more disciples for Christ!
