We are a church family in Sooke BC, called to be God’s agents of a spiritual awakening in our community. Our desire is to see lives, families, and neighborhoods transformed as people encounter Jesus, trust in Him, and grow into passionate followers.
We are a people of prayer—moved by the brokenness of the world and the unseen realities of eternity. Grounded in Scripture and led by the Spirit, we seek to be a place of radical compassion and bold proclamation, meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those around us.
This is a place where faith is lived out, hope is restored, and love is made visible. Whether you’re exploring faith or looking for a church to call home, we welcome you to journey with us.
History
Sooke Baptist Church started as a daughter work of Saanich Baptist Church under Pastor Alex Shook and was financially supported by Central Baptist Church, Victoria, and the Home Mission Board of the Fellowship of Regular Baptist Churches of BC.
Stephen and Dee Johnson, along with their two children, Nathan and Amy, arrived to assist the work and the first service of Sooke Baptist Church was held in the gymnasium of Sooke Elementary School on September 20, 1981.
On December 21. 1983 an organizational meeting was held to officially establish Sooke Baptist Church and a Recognition Council of delegates from sister Fellowship Baptist churches was held on March 31, 1984. In the summer of 1984 a piece of property was purchased from Grace Armstrong at 2056 Church Road. Construction began in October for a used, portable church building that came from Cranbrook. The first service was held in the new building on September 29, 1985. In May, 1987 the work ceased to be a Home Mission work of the BC Fellowship by becoming financially self-supporting.
There have been four pastors since Pastor Johnson. Norm Harrison started his ministry in September 1989; Dwight Geiger in February, 1995 and Rick Eby in September 2014. Our current pastor, Jordan Eadie started July 2025. In 2001 the church was able to purchase property for future expansion at 7110 West Coast Road. The groundbreaking service was held on September 15, 2002 and the church in April 2003 moved into its present location.
