Our History
In June 2013 a couple from the Olds area began to attend Redemption Church Calgary North and immediately felt in their hearts "we need a church like this in Olds!" Thus began the prayer process to see if this was part of God's plan.
They attended a small group and got involved in serving as the elders in Calgary began to consider and pray about the possibility of a plant in Olds.
December 1, 2014 God began to answer those prayers as 6-8 people began to meet at the Ramada Inn in Olds as a satellite location with a live feed service from Calgary. It was clearly a short term solution but a step in the right direction.
God was faithful and the number of those gathering continued to increase. On January 25 2015 God provided a suitable meeting place at the Olds Recreation Centre. The elders from Calgary came to provide leadership to this budding work.
Mar 15 2015 was our first official service. Trevor Peacock, pastor of Redemption Church Calgary and a worship team came to lead. God’s Word was preached and the name of Jesus was lifted high in worship.
God answered another prayer on June 1, 2015 when Jon Anderson, an elder from Calgary, officially started as our full-time pastor, bringing us solid biblically sound teaching each week.
By the grace of God, we have seen lost people saved, saved people baptized and matured, and mature people being multiplied all to the glory of God.
The Lord has done great things in our history; but we are more excited about what lies ahead. He has promised to build His church and so we eagerly anticipate His work among us as we seek to walk forward in humility and faithfulness and to be used as tools in His hands.
