WHO WE ARE
KNOWING JESUS AND MAKING HIM KNOWN
HOW IT ALL STARTED
In 1967, under the vision and leadership of Pastor Horace Wilkens, Nipigon Baptist Church was established. Born out of a love for people and a heart for the Gospel, for the past 56 years Nipigon Baptist Church has endeavoured to be a faithful witness for Jesus on the North Shore of Lake Superior.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a thriving, Christ-centered community that transforms lives and impacts our city and beyond with God’s love. We aspire to be a beacon of hope, welcoming all people to experience the life-changing power of Jesus, grow in their faith, and live out their purpose. Through intentional discipleship, compassionate outreach, and empowering leadership, we seek to inspire generations to follow Jesus and make a lasting impact on our world.

Pastor Jeremy Hetz and His wife Candace (A Nipigon Lifer) moved to Nipigon in 2007. Both Jeremy and Candace are graduates of Ethnos 360 Bible Institute. Candace and Jeremy have 4 children and have served at Nipigon Baptist for 18 years.
WHERE WE ARE HEADED
We hope to see people come to faith in Jesus, be baptized, and follow Jesus with their lives. We hope to see the great commission multiplied through those who follow Jesus. We believe God is always working, and we see it as a joy and privilege to serve Jesus whenever and whenever opportunity arises.
