Welcome to Dovercourt Baptist Church!

We are a community deeply passionate about one thing above all—Jesus Christ. We are a diverse group of individuals who have discovered hope in Christ, and our heartfelt desire is to extend that hope to others. At Dovercourt, we embrace people from all walks of life, committed to walking alongside each person on their journey to understanding who Jesus is.

Our journey traces back to the 1960s when Pastor Nightingale, guided by God's calling, laid the foundation for Dovercourt Baptist Church in Edmonton. Originating as a mission of Westwood Baptist Church, we embarked on this path with a clear vision—to be a church that embraces and loves people of all kinds, fully integrated into the fabric of our community. As an affiliated church of the Canadian National Baptist Convention and CNBC Alberta, we stand firmly rooted in our commitment to Christ and His teachings.

Looking forward, Dovercourt Baptist is on a mission to deepen our connection with the Edmonton community and its surroundings. Our vision includes the establishment of new Discipleship Groups, fostering meaningful Bible studies that cater to individuals of all ages. We actively seek opportunities to accompany people on their journey of discovering God, always open to new groups and individuals who wish to join us. Our commitment extends to exploring new avenues wherever they may be found.

To you, this means more than just a church; it means a welcoming space at Dovercourt Baptist Church. A seat is reserved for you, regardless of where you find yourself on your faith journey. In our church community, you will always be accepted, embraced, and valued. Come join us as we continue to build a community centered on the transformative love and grace of Jesus Christ.
