Our Story
Over 110 years of faithful service to God and community
A Heritage of Faith
Woodrow Gospel Chapel has been a spiritual cornerstone in the Woodrow and Lafleche area since 1910. With a heritage spanning over a century, our chapel is dedicated to Christian worship, biblical teaching, and community outreach.
The congregation meets regularly for worship services, prayer, and fellowship, fostering a supportive environment for spiritual growth and continuing its long-standing tradition of faithfulness to the Gospel message. Throughout the decades, various ministers have led gatherings, and community involvement has remained integral to our work, responding to the needs of the Lafleche area.
Our Journey Through Time
1910 - Foundation
Woodrow Gospel Chapel was established in 1910, during a time of settlement and growth in rural Saskatchewan. Pioneer families came together to create a place of worship and community support, laying the foundation for what would become a lasting spiritual home.
1950s-1960s - Growth & Development
During the post-war era, the chapel experienced significant growth as families in the area sought spiritual guidance and community connection. Regular worship services, Sunday school programs, and community events became central to life in Lafleche.
1980s-1990s - Strengthening Ties
The chapel strengthened its affiliation with the Saskatchewan Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, deepening its commitment to Mennonite Brethren traditions while maintaining its unique character as a rural Gospel chapel.
2000s-Present - Continuing the Legacy
Today, Woodrow Gospel Chapel continues to serve the Lafleche community with the same dedication that characterized its founding. While embracing modern ministry approaches, we remain rooted in biblical truth and committed to serving our neighbors with Christ's love.
