Denomination: Baptist
Kelowna, March 23rd, 1961. In this small, tranquil town nestled in the Okanagan Valley, God was stirring the hearts of a group of Christ followers. Their desire was to share God’s love with their friends and neighbours and to capture the hearts of the younger generation by providing a worship experience they would be able to connect with. The idea of birthing a church in the English language was born. A group of young families caught the vision and with the blessing of the Mother church, Grace Baptist, Trinity’s journey began. A place where families, neighbours, coworkers and the next generation would feel welcome and accepted, and where one day they would encounter the life changing power of Jesus.
These are the faces of the people God used to birth this church 50 years ago. They were passionate about making the transformational love of God real and relevant … and although 50 years have passed, those who are still living continue to carry that passion. It is because of their vision, their faithfulness and obedience, that we are sitting in this room today. Meeting in the basement of Grace Baptist Church, Trinity began with Reverend E. H. Nikkel as their first pastor. Old-timers still refer to that era as the time they were “under grace.”
