HISTORY

Three years ago, Pastor Gayland Hendrickson of Noth Ridge Church, Marshfield began to drive up here to the Colby/Abbotsford area to hold services in the Colby High School Auditorium.  In that first year, attendance was between 20-30 people. As the attendance began to grow, they brought on Nicki Fust who became the Ministries Director for this new congregation. The church continued to grow, thanks to the special events that were planned under her leadership.

In the fall of 2007 the Silva family (Pastor Joao, Joao jr., Ricardo and Rosangela) were enlisted to help build a Hispanic congregation right along side the Anglos. Ricardo led worship for both congregations, and Joao Jr. was the worship leader for both, as well.

Then, in June of 2008 Will Krebs was hired as the full-time pastor for North Ridge Church of Colby/Abbotsford. Currently, our congregation averages 95 people in attendance on Sunday morning, with approximately 30 people attending in the Hispanic service.

In the month of November, 2008 we purchased a church building at 122 N. 2nd St and we have recently finished remodeling it.  Feel free to come in and give us a visit!

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 


 






Articles & Resources for Church Workers

  • Starting a Greeter Program
    Four years ago I accepted the challenge of evangelism chairperson for our church. One of the first programs the pastor and I developed was the Sunday morning greeter program.
  • Motivating the Right Person into the Right Ministry
    One of the greatest challenges for most leaders is selecting and motivating the right people into the right ministry positions in hopes of minimizing turnover and frustration. Even in the smaller church with limited personnel, it is important to coordinate people and ministry as much as possible.
  • “I TRIED, BUT NO ONE EVER CALLED ME”
    “I tried, but no one ever called me” are painful words for a leader who has much work to do and not enough people willing to do it. These words are painful for the person who wanted to contribute, but was never called. These are also painful words for a person who is committed to helping people connect and contribute in meaningful ways within the church.
