WHO WE ARE
Statement of Faith
Affiliations
Innisfail Baptist Church began way back in 1894 through the
concerns of local people seeing the need for a church in their
community. It has since had a long and often colorful history of
both ups and downs. We are currently affiliated with the Baptist
General Conference of Canada with over 100 churches
nationwide. As we move into the future, Innisfail Baptist continues to re-imagine how we can make a difference in the lives of the people in our community and beyond.
Philosophy of Ministry
Innisfail Baptist Church is a growing community of people, who, just like you, are at various points in their life’s journey. We’ve discovered that it is much better to travel through the various phases and challenges of life in the good company of others on the same road.
Ultimately, our goal is to know the God of the Bible in a deeper, more personal way and to reflect His love and compassion to each other and to our community. Whatever your age. Whatever phase of life you are in, we invite you to come and grow with us.
