Latest News and Updates
Office Hours: Tuesday – Friday, 9:00am – 4:00pm
Search Team Update
Transitional Pastor. As previously announced on Sunday morning, the Search Team is recommending that we call Pastor Bruce Hollins to serve as our Transitional Pastor, following Pastor Terry’s retirement in June. The Board of Church Governance will bring this recommendation to the membership at a meeting on May 5, with a motion for membership approval. To prepare our members for this vote, we have invited Pastor Bruce to join us for a Candidacy Weekend, April 19-21 and are providing additional detail below to help you get to know Pastor Bruce.
Bruce Hollins has completed a Bachelor of Arts from Winnipeg Bible College (now Providence College), Christian Education courses at Canadian Nazarene College, an extensive internship at Grant Memorial Baptist Church and a multitude of professional development courses throughout his career. His work history includes:
Director of Junior High Ministries, Grant Memorial Baptist Church (Winnipeg MB), 1983-1987
Youth Pastor, First Baptist Church (Dauphin MB), 1989-1990
Youth Pastor, Bethesda Church (Winnipeg MB), 1990-1996
Associate/Youth Pastor, Wortley Baptist Church (London ON), 1996-1998
Associate/Youth Pastor, McDermot Avenue Baptist Church (Winnipeg MB), 1998-2005
Director of Adult Ministries, Grant Memorial Baptist Church (Winnipeg MB), 2005-2012
Executive Pastor / Interim Lead Pastor, Waverley Church (Winnipeg MB), 2012-2016
Interim Executive Lead Pastor, Willowlake Baptist Church (Winnipeg MB), 2017-2018
Interim Executive Lead Pastor, Oakbank Baptist Church (Oakbank MB), 2018-2023
Interim Executive Lead Pastor / Church Planter, Christian Valley Community Church (Westbridge BC), 2023-present
In 2023, Pastor Bruce also founded “Churches in Transition” as a new ministry designed to assist churches in their transition between pastors. He has a proven track record of helping churches through pastoral transitions and preparing them to welcome their next Lead Pastor.
Congregational Survey. In support of our primary task of identifying the next Lead Pastor for WRBC, the Search Team is preparing a survey designed to collect input from across our congregation (members and non-members). If you are currently attending Whyte Ridge Baptist Church, we want to hear from you. This is an individual survey and we invite every member of the household to complete it individually. If younger members of the family want to fill it in, we encourage parents to assist them as required. We will also be providing a hardcopy option for those who prefer it, but we strongly encourage online completion as we believe this will be much easier for you as well as for us. When the survey is ready it will be distributed via email.
Brenda Hildebrand – Our condolences to the family of Brenda Hildebrand as she has gone home to be with Jesus. The family will be holding a private celebration of Brenda’s life in the upcoming weeks.

Hey All!
Thank you for coming out to the Family night, what a great night for the whole church to be around each other and enjoying getting to know ppl you only see for a few minutes on a Sunday morning. We will have one more of these this year in April.
I have to make a change from the email that I sent out last week, the small-group night is on March 8th, not on March 1st. Please be advised of that.
This week we are gathering at the church to continue hearing people’s testimonies, how God impacted the lives of those who want to follow Him. I hope to see you all there and can’t wait to hear from you in your small groups.
Aside from the small group night coming next week, we also have a Sr. High Retreat day coming up with an overnight at the Church. Pay attention to next week’s email with information about that!
Rudy

Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, will begin March 10th. Many of those fasting desire a close relationship with God. Pray that God would move in mighty ways in the lives of my local friends and around the Muslim world this month, and that He would reveal Himself to those who truly seek Him. – Priscilla
