Dear MBA Pastors:
 
What is your church history?
 
Bellow is a set of questions to stimulate your memory about the history of your church.  You are not required to answer every question. Email your answers as an attachment to Carolyn Van Loh (cvanloh@woodstocktel.net). Using your information, I will create a document of your church to publish in a future issue of the North Star.
 
1.Name of church
2.Location
3.Date the church was established
4.Number of pastors serving your church over the years.
5.Describe continued development of the church
6.How does the congregation reach out to the community, missions, etc.
7.Did you church produce Christian leaders who are serving in Minnesota, across the USA, and as foreign missionaries?
8.Were there any challenges, such as the recent Covid Pandemic, that the church faced? How did God help you overcome the challenge?
 
You may send a document already written about the history of your church.
 
The North Star may carry MBA church stories based on the information I received. See the current issue that will carry the story I wrote for the Minnesota Historical website MNopedia.
 
I have started writing about First Baptist of Tyler, where I was grounded in the faith as a child. The decreasing congregation merged with Lake Benton’s Baptist church a number of years ago.
 
In His service,
Carolyn Van Loh, member of Westbrook’s Immanuel Baptist Church

​The Minnesota Baptist Association provides a platform for churches who are in agreement with our doctrinal statement to fellowship in partnership, propagation, and publication for the purpose of greater ministry effectiveness for the glory of God in the state of Minnesota.


We partner together for edifying meetings, encouraging fellowships, offering help in pastoral transitions, and other areas of cooperation that will strengthen the churches.
We propagate by planting new congregations, providing help to struggling congregations, and recruiting congregations who are not a part of our association but would agree with our doctrinal statement.
We publicize our positions and activities to the churches for purposes of information, edification, accountability, and promotion.
