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.
It is a new year and we have a new opportunity to connect and build relationships with one another and with Jesus!
We have some exciting events coming up that we can’t wait to jump into with you!
Since covid we have stayed away from snacks that are not prepackaged. But this new year we want to give opportunity for parents to get involved again in different ways. The first way is going to be for parents who want to help with snacks. If that is you please contact Erika Cooper who will be excited to collaborate with you! (erikacooper0101@gmail.com)
We have some exciting events coming up to mark your calendars on!
This Friday (Jan 5th) we have a Guest Speaker Alexis join us to talk about what God’s been doing in her life since she stepped into the missionary field!
The following week (Jan 12th) there is a missionary couple who are going to present their lives as missionaries at Rowandale Church, and we’ve been invited to join them (feel free to discuss some carpooling opportunities with your friends)
And one more exciting Missionary event we will be attending as a Youth group of going to be the Manitoba Mission Fest especially the Friday Event on February 2nd.

Ab Chudley has left 2 copies of his recently published book, Eleven Days in Kyiv, for members of our church to borrow to read. It is based on his experience in Ukraine as an exchange teacher to the medical school and postgraduate institution in 1992 shortly after Ukraine had achieved it’s independence from the former Soviet Union. It is based on a diary that he kept during the visit. He has included his personal testimony that he gave to Whyte Ridge Baptist Church in January 9, 2022. If you would like to borrow this book, please contact the church office. Ab-Chudley-11-Days-in-Kviv22.
Thank you for your ongoing prayer and financial support over the years. We are grateful to God for all of the many campers, volunteers, staff members, supporters, and communities He has made a part of Pathway. Building meaningful relationships has been the heart of this ministry. We appreciate each of you. Unfortunately, due to the COVID interruption and a lack of sufficient staffing, we were unable to resume camps and programs. We are sad to share the news that after a lengthy period of prayer and discernment, it was decided that it was the right time for Pathway to end its formal ministry and transfer its assets to an organization that has a similar mission. We are excited to bless Northern Canadian Evangelical Mission and support the work they are doing with Indigenous communities. Please know that your past contributions will still be put to good use.
A very special thank you to Stephane and Jenny for their hard work and leadership. Even after retiring as a staff member, Stephane has provided countless hours of volunteer work for Pathway. We also want to express our deepest appreciation for Rick and Elizabeth Greer whose faithfulness to God’s direction in their lives led to Pathway Camp Ministries being created.
We know, firsthand, the blessing that Pathway Camp Ministries has been in the lives of those who attended, volunteered with, and supported its work. If you would like to share your memories, experiences, and photos please do so by responding to this email. We are planning to put together an on-line tribute to honor the work God has done that we will post in the next few months.
Thank you again for being an important part of Pathway Camp Ministries. We pray
