Youth Group

Grades 6-12

Willowlake Youth is a place for young people to come together to explore faith in Jesus Christ in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Our goal is for students to know Jesus and discover faith in Him.

We currently join with New Covenant Church, Pilgrim Church and Trinity Baptist Church for a joint youth service event the last Friday of every month and meet as a Willowlake Youth three times per month (dates vary).

Willowlake Youth also sends a team to SERVE each July. This year, they’re heading to Wetaskawin, Alberta, to work with a local church and volunteer in the community.

Check under the calendar tab for details and locations of all Willowlake events.

Sunday School

Sunday School is an opportunity to grow in “knowledge and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18) in age-appropriate ways. Children are dismissed before the sermon to preschool/elementary age classes, and teens/adults meet immediately after the sermon for short times of discussion and connection.

Sunday School runs October-May. June-September, activity kits for in the sanctuary or unsupervised play rooms are available for children.

Small Groups

Small Groups are opportunities to meet with 3-10 others outside of Sunday mornings. Our goal is to grow in Christ together: learning, supporting and praying for each other. Small groups may go through Bible studies, book studies, or focus on discussion groups (based on a sermon or Scripture).

The ladies Bible study group is open to all women, meeting Mondays at 10:00am at the church in the foyer.

Midweek Bible Study is open to all, meeting Wednesdays at 7:00pm at the church (Fellowship Room in the basement).

Several other small groups meet in homes or via telephone. Contact the church for more details, or to be connected with a small group in your area.

Men’s & Women’s Ministries

The Men’s Ministry currently meets for breakfast at various restaurants as a means of fellowship and encouragement on a monthly basis. See our calendar for upcoming dates.

The Women’s Ministry puts on events throughout the year for fellowship, learning and growth, and partners with Heartland Baptist Women’s Ministries for annual events and biannual retreats. See our calendar for upcoming events.

Missions

Willowlake values missions, both locally and globally.

In 2026-2027, we plan to send out two missions teams from our congregation:

  • SERVE (July 2026) is a youth missions experience in Western Canada that brings together 150 youth from Baptist Churches from BC through to Manitoba to serve a local congregation through volunteer work. This year they’re headed to Wetaskawin, Alberta
  • SENT (February 2027) is an adult short-term missions trip to Thika, Kenya where we’ll work alongside our local partners to support and encourage the existing ministries there with Canadian Baptist Ministries.

We support and come alongside local ministries such as:

  • Faith Adult Learning Center (Union Gospel Mission)
  • Camp Arnes
  • Bethlehem Aboriginal Church

We also have global mission partners:

  • Canada Foodgrain Bank
  • Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM)
  • Canadian Baptists of Western Canada (CBWC)
  • Bill & Janice Dyck (CBM, Latin America)
  • Evangeline Hammond (CBM, Lebanon)
  • Ryan & Kristen Unger (Mission Aviation Fellowship, Uganda)
