ABOUT WRBC
We're glad you are here!
For the past 70 years, and we’ve seen God’s faithfulness in so many ways. We’re known for our warm hospitality and our mission to share God’s good news. We’re always listening to our community and welcoming people from all walks of life.
Who are we?
WRBC is a multi-generational, multi-cultural church located in the heart of the White Rock/South Surrey Peninsula. We are proud to have been part of this community for 70 years. As a Baptist church, we are voluntarily associated with the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada (CBWC), a Christ-centered community of churches that exists to equip the local church by cultivating leaders, investing in relationships, and engaging in mission.
What do we believe?
We wholeheartedly affirm the revelation of God as given in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and confess the faith set forth. We here explicitly assert the doctrines which we regard as crucial to the understanding and proclamation of the Gospel and to practical Christian living.
WRBC is a congregation in BC and Yukon Region of the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada (CBWC). This body, together with the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec, The French Baptist Union, and the Canadian Baptist of Atlantic Canada, unite in global missions under the Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM).
How do we fit in?
A church is not a building but a group of people who love Jesus and want to follow him as a community. If you don’t believe what we do, you are still always welcome to join us, either on Sundays for worship or at any of our other programs. We do not exist to serve ourselves, anyways, but those outside of our church!
We offer many programs for children, youth, adults and seniors, and we are always looking for new opportunities. We encourage you to get involved by volunteering in an area of interest and joining a Life Group for Bible study, prayer and fellowship.

WRBC History
White Rock Baptist Church was established as a congregation in 1954, and formally organized in 1955. The Church was located on the corner of Coldicutt Avenue and Nichol Road in White Rock. The founding Pastor was Dr. J. L. Sloat, and the new fellowship had a total of 30 members.
In the 1960's the congregation moved to a new building located across the road at 1657 140 Street now in Surrey. In 1988 construction began on the present facility, which was opened October, 1989.
WRBC seeks to be a loving community of hope in Jesus Christ, worshiping God and growing in faith to impact the world.
