A Word from Pastor Don Strange
 

Dear Friend,

Our message is simple. We preach the Lord Jesus Christ, and that He was Crucified, Risen, and Coming Again for all who trust in Him as their Saviour. Everything we do here has the same purpose; to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." (I Corinthians 10:31)

You will always receive a warm welcome here at Winkler Road Baptist Church. Our folks are friendly and dedicated to serving the Lord. If you are here on vacation or new in our community and looking for a home church, we invite you to visit any or all of our church services. We would be honored by your presence.
