The ministries of this church are the life blood of this church. You will want to become involved where your spiritual needs can be fulfilled and where you can share what God has done in your life. Whether it is joining in community service or becoming part of the youth group we want for you to find a place to serve and a place to grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Mission – Revelation 14:12 “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Vision – To prepare our church and surrounding community for the soon coming of Jesus Christ.
Greg Wellman
Pastor
I was born in Loma Linda, California but grew up in Washington state. I met Christ at 17 years old reading the well-known classic book called Desire of Ages, on the life and teachings of Jesus. For the first time in my life I had never met anyone who had so much compassion, love and kindness to people. His caring life, his goodness, grace and forgiveness moved my heart. I was amazed at his wisdom on how he treated people, I was struck by the way he handled difficult situations and His love for those who hated him. I was moved by his courage to walk faithfully in obeying his Father and His willingness to lay down his life for others. At a young age I knew I wanted to live my life trying to serve this wonderful person who is God himself, and the Saviour of the world. I pray that His beauty, his grace, his love and his truth will grip your heart and mind as well.
Our journey with Christ.
My beautiful wife Debbie and I got married in 1982, At Hope BC. We have two lovely adult children; our son Jeremy is married to Chenelle and he is a pastor; they have two young boys. They will soon be moving to Andrews University for further education. Our daughter Amy is a Social Worker and loves helping people, she is married to Chris Trayer from Hope BC.
We moved from BC in 1986 to start our ministry in a place called Devils’ Lake, North Dakota where we helped a little struggling church grow. We were called into full time ministry with a four-church district of Edgley, Ellendale, Leola in North Dakota and Aberdeen in South Dakota.
We also pastored the Spearfish and Custer district in the Black Hills, South Dakota, then went on to pastor the Rapid City and Hot Springs churches. We took an adventure up to Fairbanks Alaska and eventually returned to British Columbia. We spent time in the Lillooet, Lytton, and Ashcroft district. We pastored the Prince George and McBride district. Our last district and the longest was over 18 years in Penticton and Cawston/Keremeos.
We serve a great God, He is coming soon, and He wants everyone to be ready. This world can be harsh, cruel and evil. Only God has the answers to the difficult problems we face and only He can show us the way through this twisted world. Jesus came to give us life and to have it more abundantly, not just in eternity but now, in this world.
Join us on this journey of growing deeper in Christ, closer to one another, and experiencing the joy of worshiping our great Creator and Redeemer; and looking forward to His soon return.
