Caring for creation,
and equipping others to do likewise
A Rocha Ontario
A Rocha Ontario offers place-based experiences, in a hospitable Christian community, centered on the connection between God, people and Creation. Transforming people into hopeful-active participants in the flourishing of God’s world.
A Rocha Ontario is Moving!
After many meaningful years at Cedar Haven, A Rocha Ontario is stepping into a new chapter. We are excited to announce that we have signed a one-year lease at 1440 Westover Road in Millgrove, Ontario: the new A Rocha Ontario Centre.
This beautiful 55-acre organic farm is full of possibilities for creation care and community. Spencer Creek winds through a small forest at the back of the property and a pond, barn, house, large garden, and important bobolink habitat offer rich opportunities for environmental education. With space for hosting, learning, and celebrating, this site opens the door to a new season for A Rocha while maintaining continuity of our core values and programs.
Though our address is changing, our mission remains the same: to live out God’s call to care for creation and equip others to do likewise. We are already planning programming at the new space for this fall and are excited to see how God will use it.
Join Us for a Celebration!
To mark this new beginning, we invite you to our event, “Prayer, Praise, and Pizza: A Rocha Centre Welcome Party“ on Saturday, September 13th. Come explore the farm, enjoy time in community, and join us in prayer as we dedicate this space to God’s work of creation care. Click here to learn more and register.

After many meaningful years at Cedar Haven, A Rocha Ontario is stepping into a new chapter. As of September 2025, we have a one-year lease at the new “A Rocha Ontario Centre” at 1440 Westover Road, Millgrove, ON. Our centre is a short distance from Hamilton, Burlington, Guelph, Cambridge and Kitchener. This beautiful, 55-acre organic farm is full of possibilities for creation care and community. We look forward to hosting our programs from this site and in other locations in Southern Ontario.
We are also in partnership with communities at Windstone Farm (Ottawa, Beckwith Township) and in the Ottawa/Gatineau area.
Connecting people to creation through nature walks, potluck suppers and guest speakers, community gardening at the University of Ottawa, and citizen science in Gatineau Park.
Click We are grateful to work (and live) within the Halton-Hamilton Watershed of Lake Ontario, on the traditional territories of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee), Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ , Attiwonderonk, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Mississauga First Nations, covered by the Dish with One Spoon Covenant.
