OUR HISTORY
In August 2008, upon his arrival in Fort McMurray and following his appointment as Lead Pastor at the Family Christian Centre, Rev. Edwin Rideout embarked on a mission to understand the social needs of the Wood Buffalo Region. His quest led to a pivotal encounter with Mayor Melissa Blake in the winter of 2009, where he inquired about the church's potential focus area in community service. Mayor Blake promptly highlighted the pressing need for more counselling services, particularly in family/relational dynamics and addiction.
Edwin's subsequent analysis over the following months affirmed that while government and non-profits were making substantial efforts, there remained a significant gap in counselling services, notably for families, youth, children, and substance abuse issues.
