In 1988, the Winkler Mennonite Brethren Church constructed a new building at 120 Pineview Drive: a new home for their church family. Thirty-eight years late, we can see that it is God who was the building: building up leaders, children, families, a community of people faithful to His call to follow the way Jesus together. If these walls could, they would sing of God’s faithfulness and tell of how proud they are to have been the setting for His work!
We are confident that God will continue to be faithful to WMBC. We believe He has good and beautiful things in store for us, and for our community through us. We also believe we are in a season of needing to invest in our building so that it can serve our mission well for another 38 years.
For this building to continue to bless WMBC and the community, we need to be responsible with its upkeep. There are parts of our building that are wearing out, such as HVAC units, doors and windows, and carpets.
There are aspects of our building that create safety concerns, such as stairways, and access to our children’s ministry areas.
The needs of our ministries and community are changing. The proposed renovations allow many of our ministries to operate more ideally and make our building more useful to our community, including the possibility of creating an early learning and child care centre.
The renovations to structure present an opportunity to refresh our interior, which has not changed much in 40 years. New coats of paint, seating, and other cosmetic changes will make our building feel warm, welcoming, and full of signs of life.
