Visiting a church for the very first time can be a bit nerve racking. However, having an idea of what to expect can help make taking this step easier. Check out the links to your right to learn more about our Sunday services, what there is for kids, our staff, and what we believe. We look forward to meeting you.
At Whyte Ridge Baptist, we value relationship. We believe it is the key to finding one's way into the life of the church whatever your age or stage of life. This may mean stepping out of your comfort zone, but the rewards for doing so are great.
Consider the links to the right as doorways to opportunities for connecting in a meaningful way at Whyte Ridge Baptist.
Donate items for Baby Layettes in support of Family Support Centre:
We are excited to have another opportunity to bless the clients and their new babies at the Family Support Centre!
“It is no secret that the Family Support Centre of Winnipeg loves life. We believe that all people have intrinsic value, regardless of how old they are, what they believe, where they were born, or where they are currently living. We believe that people are amazing, and that they deserve respect and love.
If a client of our centre obtains an abortion, we love her. If she carries-to-term, we love her. If she releases the child in an adoption, we love her. If she grieves after her abortion, with zero judgment, we will mourn with her. If she is in need during parenting, we will care for her. If she struggles after the adoption, we will support her.
We think people are awesome. We believe they deserve hope.”
~Juergen Severloh , Executive Director

Update from Board of Church Governance and Lead Pastor Search Team
April 18, 2024
Congregational Survey
The congregational survey is a key component in our preparation to seek and find the man of God’s choosing to serve as our next Lead Pastor. This is YOUR opportunity to speak into the process and we earnestly desire the input of everyone who considers Whyte Ridge Baptist Church to be their home church. If you have not yet completed the congregational survey, please do so here:
It only takes 10-15 minutes to complete and is to be completed as individuals, not as a couple or family. If you have children who would like to contribute, please support them as appropriate. We strongly encourage you to complete the electronic version of the survey, however hard copies are available upon request at the Welcome Centre.
Transitional Pastor
I hope that everyone will take the opportunity to meet Pastor Bruce Hollins this weekend as he shares the message with us on Sunday morning. Bruce and Monica will be available in the foyer following the service to meet with congregants.
Some of you may be wondering why we need a Transitional Pastor. There are actually a number of very good reasons:
The search for a new Lead Pastor, when done properly, takes an extended period of time and there is no guarantee when the search will come to a successful conclusion. Thus, we have an indefinite interim period between the retirement of Pastor Terry and the calling of the next Lead Pastor.
Our staff operates as a team and the Lead Pastor serves as the team leader. We believe it is wise to have someone to serve as an interim team leader while we complete the process to find the next Lead Pastor.
This interim period is a time of transition for our church, as we grieve the end of Pastor Terry’s ministry as our Lead Pastor and await the arrival of his successor. This can, and should, also be a time of reflection and renewal as we seek to prepare ourselves for the next stage of our church life. This focus on our spiritual health is best facilitated by someone who is gifted and experienced in transitional leadership.
It is important to note that the skills and giftings of our Transitional Pastor (who will lead us through the transition) are not the same as the skills and giftings we will be looking for in our next Lead Pastor (to lead us into the future). The job description for our Transitional Pastor reflects an increased focus on congregational health and leading us through the period of transition. The job description for our Lead Pastor will reflect the current and future needs of our congregation, as determined by the interviews and surveys currently being conducted by the Search Team. Individual inputs through the congregational survey are instrumental components of that process.
Membership Meeting – May 5, 2024
A membership meeting will be held following the morning worship service on Sunday, May 5, 2024 at approximately 12 noon. The sole purpose of this meeting will be the presentation of the motion to call Pastor Bruce Hollins as our Transitional Pastor. Following any discussion on this motion, voting will take place by paper ballot (for those in attendance) and electronic voting (for members who are not able to attend in person). As this is expected to be a very short meeting, we will not be providing lunch.
Come to the Core: An evening of prayer in a time of transition – May 5, 2024 at 7 PM
Come to the Core is an equipping event for the whole church family. Our next event is on May 5, starting at 7 PM in the main auditorium. It will be an evening of prayer and worship with a focus on the transition that we are entering into. We hope that you will come and hear from the Board, the Search Team, the Celebration Team and the Prayer Team as we lead you in praying for our transitional needs.

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.

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!
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
Muslim World Prayer Guide – 30 Days
To learn about and pray for our world’s Muslim Neighbours
With games, art, coffee, popcorn, hot chocolate, and community we have so many things for you to choose from that you could enjoy with your family and friends. Its a perfect opportunity for you to invite people you would love to see!
I can’t wait to see you this Friday at 6pm!
Upcoming: Next week we are meeting in our own separate small groups, we’ll have exact places, times, and activities for you in next week’s email so look out for that!
