WRBC Financial Support Forms 2026
Our purpose as a church is to Nurture Followers of Jesus Christ through Healthy Relationships. The ministry that occurs at Christian camps each year is invaluable to living out that purpose with our children and youth. Serving as staff, many adults in our church family mature through their service at camp as well.
With that in mind, as a church family we encourage people to consider investing themselves in others by taking a portion of their summer to serve with a Christian Camp through offering financial support of $100/week (to a max of $600) that can be requested through our Christian Camp Support Application (see requirements below and application attached).
Of course, our first encouragement is for people to join the summer staff at Camp Nutimik which is one of our Manitoba Baptist Association camps (the other being Water’s Edge Bible Camp). If this is of interest to you information about becoming a summer staff member can be found at Staff & Volunteer Opportunities/Camp Nutimik
We also want to invest in those of you considering full-time theological education (12 credit hours of Bible focused courses) or being involved in a Short-Term Missions opportunity (less than 2 years).
Please see the applications below for details:
If you’d like to talk with someone to discuss your plans regarding any of these areas, please feel free to call our church office (204-489-3875) or approach any of our WRBC staff. Or email the church office.

Mother’s Day Drive 2026 for Family Support Centre
Whyte Ridge Baptist Church wants to bless the moms who visit our church partner, Family Support Centre(FSC), coming up this Mother’s Day! FSC Ministry has been around for over 40 years in Winnipeg supporting moms with counselling and practical help such as baby clothes, diapers and formula for their newborn babies and young children.
We will have a table set up in the foyer for April 26, May 3 & 10 (Mother’s Day) where you can drop off gifts especially for the moms and/or their babies. See the list below for suggestions. Socks, lotion, journals or a $10 gift card will encourage these moms as they celebrate this Mother’s Day. Items for the babies are always welcome such as baby formula, newborn sleepers, soothers, blankets and baby care products. Please only new items for the babies!
If you have any questions, contact Debbie Neufeld at the church office.
Encouraging Political Engagement: Bill C-9
The EFC is encouraging us to contact members of the Senate in regards to Bill C-9 (Combatting Hate Act). While the EFC supports the intent to protect religious sites, it opposes the removal of the “religious belief defence” which threatens religious freedom and sincere faith expressions.
On behalf of our Justice and Mercy (JAM) Team, we would encourage you to call a member of the Senate (preferred) or personalize the message in this letter from The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada Bill C-9 and send as an email (the second reading could begin as early as April 13th). Click here Bill C-9 for a script that you can use to call or email. It also includes contact information for the senators.
Contact Karen Owzarek or Pastor Doug for more information.
