1951 : Stella's Cafe

The birth of Parksville Baptist Church Parksville Baptist Church was formed in 1951. The first "chapter" of our history could be called the "Days of Survival". A small group of people went from renting space in which to meet, to building a church facility; from holding a church service to offering the basic church ministries. We had great family pioneers.

1962 - 1986 : Panabode Church

Chapter two of our history tells of the "risk takers" in which we no longer focused on just those attending but on a future when many would come. Property was purchased beyond the foreseeable needs and a building project was undertaken that was a big stretch for the faithful few.

1990 - 2007 : Pastor Dave

Our next chapter could be marked with pastoral leadership of Dave Marttunen and Gord Reeve. They might be called the "years of change". A transition to multiple services, small groups grew as a priority, and adding a multi-staff team in the office were all a part of this growing period.

Today : A Church for the Community - "Imagine the Impact"

We believe we have started into the next chapter of our story. It is about the very deliberate desire to invite the community to explore Christianity with us as the church gathers, and to mobilize and scatter our church into our community to find ways to be the "light of the world" in Oceanside.  We trust the next years will be ones in which we honor God well in this exciting act of obedience!!
