Our dream is to change the way you view the church, so that you can truly encounter Jesus. Imagine the church being an unignorable force for good in our community, a people and place of refuge!
We dream of stories about neighbourhoods that were turned upside down by the unexplainable kindness and radical generosity of WMBC.
We dream of stories about community through WMBC that embraced diversity and belonging.
We dream of stories of WMBC being a catalyst that changed the relevance of the local church in rural Manitoba.
We dream of stories of young and old having real encounters with God through our worship that radical impacted their lives.
We dream of stories of WMBC being a safe community that was willing to listen and give you hope.
We dream of stories about families who made Christ-centered parenting their greatest achievement and highest priority.
We dream of stories where people are led into wanting to believe in the message of Jesus before they actually do.
We dream of being a church where people skeptical of what we believe are envious of how well we treat each other, and are surprised by how well we treat them.
our values
love our city
We want to see our city of Winkler transformed life by life and family by family. Our city will know that Jesus is for them and not against them as WMBC is equipped and released to live out the Gospel in practical and tangible ways.
(Matt. 5:16, 10:7-8, 22:37-39; Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 5:19-20)
hand over the keys
The younger generation is an integral part of our church family and we are passionate about partnering with parents and families to create a wider circle of support around each young person. We entrust the next generation with the “keys” to the church so that we can open doors to greater relationship, trust, empowerment, and responsibility.
(Duet. 6:6-9, Psalm 78:4, Prov. 1:8, Prov. 2:1-5, Prov. 22:6, Matt. 18:10, John 13:35, 1 Thess. 5:11, 1 John 2:27)
bridge the generational gap
We are a people and place of refuge for all ages and value the contributions of each generation. We focus on building life-giving relationships that bridge the generation gaps because there is a richness and unity that comes in discipling each other.
(Joshua 4:4-7, Psalm 107:2, Prov. 4, 1 Tim. 5:4, Romans 15:4-6)
authenticity
We believe honest conversations with one another in smaller communities lead to greater faith and deeper relationships. We create safe environments where the church can bring their wrestling, their doubts, and their confessions – to know and be known. We encourage each other to engage with the teachings of Jesus with humility and authenticity.
(James 5:13-16, 1 Thess. 5:11-21, 2 Cor. 3:1-3, Col. 3:9-17)
real gospel for the real world
We want to see hearts changed by the Gospel and lives lived differently for the sake of the Kingdom. We equip each other to connect our faith to the everyday needs and challenges of living in the way of Jesus in an ever-changing culture.
(John 15:12; Mark 4:34; Mark 12:41-44; 1 Peter 3:15; Ephesians 4:11-15; Matthew 7:24-27; Romans 15:4)
spirit-led
We believe the Holy Spirit is vital in moving from rule-based religion to a real relationship with Jesus. Therefore, we want to see the gathered church participate in the freedom of Spirit-led worship and experience an everyday life that is infused with the Spirit’s power and presence.
(John 16:33; Acts 8:15-18; Rom. 8:15-17, 26; 1 Cor 2:9-11, 3:16; 2 Cor. 3:18, 13:14; Gal. 5:22-23)
