New Christian church now meeting in Atlin!

Atlin Family Church is now a local church family & an online ministry located in Atlin, BC. Canada. Pastors Dale & Rena Mae are excited to announce that they are now meeting in their Cabin & Church Office @ 204 - 4th Street, Atlin, BC. (formerly The Gold Claim Restaurant) You are welcome to join us Sundays @ 10 AM MST

Atlin Family Church is a newly established Christian church / ministry in Atlin, BC. The church is a registered Christian Charity & will soon offer a full range of pastoral & community services.

Pastors Dale & Rena Mae McDonald started the church in August of 2024 & have taken the steps to build the online ministry first with the website www.atlinfamilychurch.ca & the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/atlinfamilychurch.

The church website is the best way to get to know Atlin Family Church & to contact the pastors. SPECIAL NOTE: Pastors are looking for a larger & suitable facility to meet, as the local church grows. If anyone knows of a location / facility that is available please contact Atlin Family Church. It can be a larger home, heated shop or building.

Insert from the Atlin Family Church website: "What is the Atlin Family Church like?

We are a local & online teaching ministry that teaches the simplicity of God's Word. Sharing God's message, to you from the bible. We believe the church should not have weird religious rules / requirements or have hard to understand teaching from the church.

Atlin Family Church teaches in a way so that anyone can understand & apply what they have learned to their daily lives. We believe the bible is our daily guide for living, marriage, family, & including our relationships with friends or work relationships."

The Purpose of the Atlin Whisper is to encourage, build-up and inform the people of Atlin concerning ongoing community events and happenings. The Whisper is not a political mouthpiece. Compiled and edited by Lynne Phipps. Paper for printing courtesy of Northern Homes Real Estate Printing courtesy of Dani McNeil and the RCMP Atlin. Delivery by Bobbie Whelan and Gary Hill. Classifieds, news, upcoming events Contact 1-867-334-7949 or lynnephippsatlin@gmail.com if you have, pictures or articles you would like to submit.

This costs in both paper and ink. We know that at times a PDF is the only way, which is okay when necessary, but otherwise, as the Whisper is a FREE community service we appreciate your support in helping to keep the costs down as much as possible.
