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.
As a reminder, this week there will be no youth happening at the church as we are out at Camp Nutimik for our MBA (Manitoba Baptist Association) Retreat! We will be back in the building on the 29th of September
For those who have registered for the retreat here is what you need to know:
We have at least 75 people signed up from 5 different churches. It will be a great time of teaching, bible discussions, worship, getting to know each other, games, good food and more!
As this retreat approaches, we want to ensure that everyone is well-prepared. Here are some important details:
Payment Instructions:
Each church will collect payment from their students on Friday. ($100) Write a cheque payable to your church and indicate “youth retreat” in the memo, same is applicable to e-transfers.
