Update from Board of Church Governance and Lead Pastor Search Team
May 9, 2024
Transitional Pastor
The combined results of the vote on the motion to call Bruce Hollins as our Transitional Pastor (both online and paper ballot votes) were 125 in favour and none opposed. Pastor Bruce is expected to join us on June 1.
Search Team Update
The results of the congregational survey are still being reviewed by the Search Team. The overall feedback was very positive and detailed results will soon be shared with the Board and Staff for further review. A summary of the results will then be shared with the congregation.
The Ministry Leaders Survey is being sent to selected leaders across all ministry areas. This will provide more focused feedback on the various ministries of our church, as well as a ministry leaders’ perspective on the overall spiritual health of our congregation.
Staff interviews are being conducted to ensure that their perspectives are fully considered as we enter this time of transition. The Search Team will also conduct a detailed exit interview with Pastor Terry.
The combined results of all these surveys and interviews will give us a more complete picture of our current situation and a clearer indication of where we think God is leading us as a congregation. It will therefore help us discern the type of Lead Pastor we need, the man who we believe that God is preparing for us. Thank you all for your participation and your prayers.

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.

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.
