Church Reports
Pastors and church planters from a Reformed Baptist association gather to deliver reports on the state of their congregations, church plants, and mission works across western Canada, Mexico, and West Africa. The reports span churches at various stages of maturity — from a newly constituted church plant in central Canada to an established congregation in Guadalajara overseeing a theological education ministry for Latin America. A recurring theme across all reports is the ordinary means of grace as the ground of congregational health, the acute shortage of qualified men for ministry, and the need for confessionally grounded churches across regions dominated by nominalism, Pentecostalism, and various cults. The assembled churches are encouraged to pray for one another and to trust that God's glory, not numerical success, is the measure of faithful ministry.
ARBCWC Update
Pastors and church planters from Reformed Baptist congregations across Western Canada and the northern United States gather to report on the state of their churches, the progress of a newly formalized association, and the ordinary and extraordinary work of God in their respective communities. Reports come from Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Regina, Grace Family Reformed Baptist Church in Medicine Hat, Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in Armstrong, Gospel of Grace Fellowship in Weyburn, a Lethbridge congregation in the process of deeper confessional alignment, Moose Mountain Reformed Baptist Church, Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in Dryden Ontario, and the Reformed Baptist Church of Tiama Iowa. Common threads include the challenges and encouragements of church planting, the use of the 1689 London Baptist Confession as a unifying standard, growth through evangelism and baptism, and the value of associational fellowship among confessional Reformed Baptist churches in a broadly evangelical landscape.
ARBCWC - Pastors' Updates April 2025
Pastors and church leaders from Reformed Baptist congregations across Western Canada and beyond gather to report on the state of their churches and give thanks to God for his faithfulness. The reports span church plants in Regina, Medicine Hat, Armstrong, Weyburn, Lethbridge, Moose Mountain, Dryden (Ontario), and Tama (Iowa), with recurring themes of slow but steady growth, the challenges of introducing confessional Reformed Baptist practice in broadly evangelical contexts, the encouragement of associational fellowship, and shared prayer for gospel advance, church planting, and the conversion of souls.
Free Grace Baptist Church - March 21 Missions Event
A Reformed Baptist missionary with thirty years of service in the Philippines presents an overview of the work in Metro Manila and beyond: church planting, a three-year pastoral training institute covering biblical languages and systematic theology, and itinerant teaching among pastors in remote provinces. The presentation is grounded in Revelation 5 and Romans 10 — Christ has purchased a people from every tribe, tongue, and nation, and messengers must be sent to gather them. The evening closes with prayer requests for the elders of Moonwalk Community Bible Church, the graduates scattered across the Philippine islands, and the ongoing effort to bring the gospel to Roman Catholics, Muslims, and those ensnared in health-and-wealth Christianity.
