Our Story
1981
DayBreak Community Church was planted by the North American Baptist Conference under the name Faith Community Baptist Church by Harold Weiss and Grace Baptist Church. The next year the church purchased 10 acres of land outside of Airdire with hopes of building soon. The original leaders envisioned the day that the land they purchased would be surrounded by flourishing communities.
1986
After having met in a warehouse for the last five years, the building was completed in only 3.5 months.
2015
By 2015 Airdrie had become the flourishing community that was dreamt about all those years ago. The vision of the church evolved into a desire to be more than a place people met on Sunday, but to be a cornerstone for the community. The name was changed to DayBreak Community Church to reflect a desire to expand our ideas of what ministry looks like, to find ways of creatively connecting with the people around us and to show the love of Jesus in unexpected ways. The SPINZ program and Good Food Box program were both launched around this time.
2021
DayBreak Airdrie is now a network church with Renfrew Baptist church in Calgary. The network exists to promote strong ministry resourcing through generosity while still promoting local church autonomy.
We can accomplish more together than each church could do independently as we partner together for future church planting, kids and youth programs and local church development or training opportunities. The desire is to grow multiple healthy churches that can reproduce into more healthy churches.
We want to model to other churches that working together and pooling our resources is at the heart of the kingdom of God.
DayBreak Community Church respectfully acknowledges that we work and worship on Treaty 7 territory, the traditional home of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuut’ina Nation and Stoney-Nakoda Nations, and the People of Metis Region 3.
