Churches Helping Churches

 

One of the goals of the Minnesota Baptist Association is to work together as a fellowship with churches helping churches.

 

Last August, Pastor David Rogers and ten others from the Cornerstone Baptist Church of Willmar traveled down to St. James, Minnesota, for a home missions project. Efforts are underway to revitalize the church in St. James and some work on their building was needed. The crew of men and women spent the entire day re-painting the outside of the church. Pastor Rogers and his wife stayed overnight and then painted the yellow lines on the outside stairways for safety purposes.

 

Rev. Paul Hoover, from the Intermountain Baptist Fellowship, has been meeting with those who are active in the congregation in St. Peter. They are working toward re-opening the church with regular services sometime in the near future.  Calvary Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor John Scofield, is making plans to serve as the mother church during this period of re-vitalization.

 

There is still physical work that can be done to ready the building in St. James for occupation. If you or your church are interested in helping in some way, you can contact Pastor Rogers at davezan21@gmail.com.
