Wallace River United Baptist Church recently celebrated a number of baptisms, bringing the total to 28 people in the past five years. The Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, church also reports that during this time 30 people have come to faith in Jesus Christ and 40 new members have been received into the church. Average attendance has increased from 35 to 59, with 20 in a weekly Bible study.

Members credit the work of Pastor Jack Biggins and his wife Patrcia in prayer, visitation and teaching. They also point to a number of initiatives to involve new people, including monthly music nights, a Christian marriage course, fellowship evenings at the church and in homes, the friendliness of the church, and a new church constitution.
