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.
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

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.
