History of the First Baptist Church of Glenwood
In January of 1948, the pastor of the Alexandria First Baptist
Church, Rev. Roger Youngquist, began Thursday evening Bible study and prayer
meetings in various Glenwood homes.
A survey was conducted and the results showed there were a number
of people in this area interested in starting a Baptist Church in Glenwood.
On May 16, 1948, the first worship service was held in the Glenwood
Township Hall.
On August 19, 1951, the church was organized with 15 charter
members. Land was purchased and groundbreaking for a church building occurred
August 15, 1954.
The first worship service in the newly constructed building was on
Easter Sunday, 1955.
The new sanctuary was opened and dedicated as we celebrated our
40th anniversary on June 23, 1991.
We are a part of the Minnesota Iowa Baptist Conference.
The Awana program began on January 25, 1984, and has been going
strong ever since. We are blessed to be able to minister to the children who
attend in our community.
The year begins in September and ends usually in April, meeting
every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
Studying the Word of God is very important part of our church.
.
We have an open Men’s Bible Study group that meets every
Saturday morning at 7:00 a.m. Everyone is welcome

This ministry is native
missionary supported for reaching the main stream Indian population with the
gospel of Jesus Christ. The church in India is under extreme persecution and
death threats for all missionaries. We need to pray for their safety and
financial support as they fulfill God's commandment of reaching the world for
Christ. |

Biography |

The ministry to which we are
privileged to be called was initiated in 1952. Art Holmes began Bible Studies
that eventually became worship meetings. Ed Viren helped out and in 1957, Wally
and Shirley Olson moved to The Nett Lake Reservation to formally establish the
ministry. For the next 50 years, Wally and Shirley devoted their lives to
serving Jesus Christ by engaging with Native people through much of Northern
Minnesota and southern Ontario. We met them through a short term mission
experience to Lac LaCroix in 1986. We became supporters of the various missions
ministries to Native people with which Wally was involved. Eventually, we were
called from a career in education to serve Jesus Christ at Nett Lake. We
arrived at Nett Lake in 2003. Our mission is to develop the indigenous church
through Bible instruction, pastoral care and relational evangelism. We are
building on the legacy of those who have gone before us in faith. We trust in
God's will to be used for Him to see Native people come to a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. The spiritual warfare can be extreme. The loss
of our daughter to cancer in 2007 has been difficult. We are lifted up by the
prayers of many to live an authentic life of faith that reveals the truth of
Jesus Christ. |
