September 27, 2025 – Okotoks, Alberta
Pastor Jinwook Lee and Okotoks congregation marked a historic moment on September 27, 2025, with praises and dedication of their new church building. With hearts full of gratitude, members gathered to celebrate not only the completion of a physical sanctuary, but also a recommitment to place the light of Jesus Christ and the Bible at the center of the new church.
The Sabbath service overflowed with joy and thanksgiving as worshippers lifted praises for the many blessings God has bestowed upon this faith community. Attendees described the event as a “celestial shower,” a powerful outpouring of God’s promises and presence upon all who were gathered.
During the dedication, members expressed profound appreciation for the faithfulness of God throughout the journey of planning, building, and now consecrating this new house of worship. The church stands as both a testimony of His providence and a beacon for future mission.
Pr. Jinwook Lee also expressed deep gratitude to anonymous donors whose generous seed offerings made the building project possible. Their quiet yet profound acts of giving laid the foundation for what has now become a vibrant spiritual home for the community. He emphasized that such unseen generosity reflects Christlike service, reminding everyone that the mission of the church is built upon both faith and sacrifice.
“This building is more than walls and windows—it is a place where God’s Spirit dwells among His people and from which we will go forth into new missions.”
Special thanks to the Holy Cross Lutheran church and Alberta Conference leadership for helping acquire this beautiful and much bigger church. To view the entire program kindly visit https://youtube.com/@okotokssdachurch
