A Brief History
|
|
In 1995, a group of families and individuals in the Webster area wanted to have somewhere local to worship God, and so began our first public meetings at the Webster Hall. Brian Burkhart, the Pastor of McLaurin Baptist Church in Grande Prairie, was already living in the Webster area, and felt God call him to help this church get off the ground, and then to become its pastor. This call was confirmed by both the local people, and the church family at McLaurin.
|
After four years at the Webster Hall, 10 acres of land was donated, and plans were made to put up our own building. In 2001 a group of 19 Germans came to give us a hand, and in 2 weeks the 50' x 60' building with a full basement was completely closed is. Money came in almost daily for more supplies, so we never went into debt.

At the time we had about 60-70 regular attenders. Having our own building has made a huge difference to the kind of ministries we're able to do. As a result, our church family has been steadily growing to an average Sunday attendance of about 120.

In 2003 we became affiliated with the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada. The church has continued to grow, and so we are making plans to expand. God is good, and we are thrilled to serve Him here in the Webster area.
