On Sunday September 12, 2021 Pastor Aaron announced his resignation from Wood Point Baptist Church. Due to personal challenges with family just in the last few months, he has chosen to step away from ministry to focus on some personal needs. He and his family will be moving back to where their family are in Ontario where he will be taking on a secular job at this time. He announced that when he came to Wood Point that he hope to spend out the rest of his years in ministry here. Many have spoke how they will miss his ministry here at Wood Point. This website was developed and maintained by Pastor Aaron, he will certainly be missed for all his contribution to this little country church. Our prayer is to find an new Pastor that will fill his shoes..but yet be what God wants for our church.

God's Instrument
I see the hands that hold God's word And fold in prayer to seek His will. I see the feet that walk the path And offers of praise as from lofty hill. I see the hands that serve Him well, The ears that seek to hear His call, The mouth that speaks truth and wisdom, The busy feet that carry the message to all. I see the heart that was pricked and entered When God's man answered the gospel call And yielded His life as a humble servant, A man who is willing, as was Apostle Paul. I see all of this as he stands in the pulpit, An instrument through which God speaks The words of wisdom, of love and peace, To lead and guide all those whom God seeks. by Judy Crowe |
