Church Planting

WestCoast Baptist Association is the product of five years of work by a very dedicated team of churches that began as a cooperative initiative of the North American Mission Board, the Canadian National Baptist Convention and the Capilano Southern Baptist Association. In 1955 four churches formed the Capilano Southern Baptist Association becoming the first association in Canada. Now after over 50 years of ministry in Vancouver and Victoria we have been impacted dramatically over the past five years by cooperative prayer, partnership and participation with teams from across North America. We look across the landscape of our field and see over 80 churches composed of people from around the world. We now stand poised on the WestCoast of Canada with a passion to see our city transformed by an almighty God and a plan that has been formed by those same three elements: prayer, partnership and participation. The hope… the dream… is that a true God-led movement is developing to a point that the region is transformed to a place where it is evident that God reigns. The WestCoast Baptist Association dreams of seeing 150 healthy churches by the end of 2021.
