Latest News and Updates
Office Hours: Tuesday – Friday, 9:00am – 4:00pm
Update from Lead Pastor Search Team: The Search Team is in the final stages of posting the job opportunity. You should see it very soon on our own website. It will also be posted at selected Seminaries, Christian colleges and on a number of other Christian job search sites. Please continue to pray over this process as we seek to meet the person that God has been preparing to send us as our next Lead Pastor.
Please also pray for members of the Search Team as they enjoy a brief period of rest in anticipation of receiving applications to be evaluated later this summer and into the fall. Team members have put tremendous work into this process so far and much work remains to be done. Pray for perseverance and discernment in the next stage of the process.
Message from the Celebration Team: You a
re invited to a Retirement Celebration for Pastor Terry Janke on Sunday, August 18, 2024. The Retirement Celebration will be held during the Sunday morning service (10:30am). Pastor Terry will be speaking. Following the morning service there will be a reception in the foyer. A light snack will be served.
We hope you will join us to celebrate Pastor Terry’s ministry at Whyte Ridge Baptist Church.
Just a reminder that, as in past years, we will not be live-streaming our Sunday services for the month of August. This allows members of our Tech Team to take a break from volunteering during this month. On these Sundays, there will be an audio recording of the sermon that will be made available after the fact. An exception to this is August 18th – The Retirement Celebration service for Pastor Terry Janke will be live-streamed that morning.
