New Adventist Church in Whitecourt

The Whitecourt Church building project began in early 2020. After looking into existing buildings and churches that were for sale in the area, it was decided that none met the needs or worked for the church. After much prayer and discussion, the church board voted to buy some property so the new church could build to specific needs.

There was already a healthy building fund in place at this time and donations were steadily rolling in. A vacant lot was purchased in the heart of downtown Whitecourt, and Joe Thomsen, who is a Whitecourt Church member and contractor, was recruited to head out and facilitate the construction of the new building. We broke ground near the beginning of 2020. The concrete foundation was laid first, then the frame was built, erected, and put into place. The exterior and interior construction were then completed.

Within two years the new church building proudly stood, completed and ready for business. We faced many challenges and obstacles along the way, too numerous to list here but we stayed faithful, and our resolve was firm. We believed God wanted a church in Whitecourt that would function as an Adventist presence in the community, and it was that unwavering belief which carried us through the tough times. Through sacrificial giving by the membership, generous donations from interested parties and benefactors, financial assistance from the Alberta Conference, and a combination of professional builders and volunteer help with the construction and painting — the dream became a reality.

All glory to God. This was

His initiative and done to His glory - and He continues to lead and guide us as a church through the final stages until the day of our grand opening.
