Glenn Gibson, Director of Evangelism and Church Extension for the Canada East District of the Missionary Church of Canada, conducted a study of the area and in May 1987, Tavistock was approved as a target community for church planting. A Steering Committee of those interested in a church in Tavistock, assisted by a representative from Bethel Missionary Church in New Dundee, began to meet. \u00a0We are thankful for the prayer, encouragement, and financial support of Bethel through those first several years.<\/p>\n Our first service was held at the Tavistock Public School on February 7, 1988. \u00a0During that month, several evening services drew a number of people from the community. \u00a0After occupying several temporary locations, during the church’s early years, we purchased land in\u00a01995 with plans to begin construction of our current church building. \u00a0We broke ground in 1998, and moved into our current facility in September of 1999.<\/p>\n Our current pastor, Rev.
