"Woodland Pastoral Charge aims to develop educational and outreach programs for youth, minister to community needs, provide spiritual nurture, and help people discover their purpose and make a difference in the world."
This mission statement guides everything we do. From our youth programs to our community outreach initiatives, we are committed to being a force for positive change in Whitecourt and the surrounding region.
We believe that every person has unique gifts and a purpose to fulfill. Our role is to nurture, encourage, and equip individuals to discover their calling and make a meaningful impact in their families, workplaces, and communities.
We envision a community where every person is valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
We envision a community where individuals of all ages experience meaningful spiritual growth and develop a deep, personal faith that sustains them through life's journey.
We dream of a Whitecourt where neighbors help neighbors, where no one faces challenges alone, and where the love we share creates lasting positive change.
We see a future where young people are confident, purposeful leaders who make ethical decisions and positively influence their peers and communities.
Our mission is built on four foundational pillars that guide our programs and initiatives.
Developing programs that teach, inspire, and equip people with knowledge and skills for life.
Extending our care beyond our walls to serve those in need throughout our community.
Providing spiritual care and guidance that helps individuals grow in faith and purpose.
Creating a welcoming space where every person is valued and celebrated for who they are.
Through our programs and initiatives, Woodland Pastoral Charge has touched countless lives in Whitecourt and beyond. We measure our success not just in numbers, but in the stories of transformation we witness:
We are committed to being a congregation where all are welcome, valued, and celebrated.
We welcome people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, marital statuses, ages, mental and physical abilities, racial and cultural backgrounds, and socioeconomic circumstances.
We strive to remove barriers that might prevent anyone from fully participating in our community. Everyone has a place here, and everyone has something valuable to contribute.
Join us in making a difference. Whether through volunteering, participating in our programs, or simply becoming part of our community, your presence matters.
