Glory Hills Baptist Church - Stony Plain

The Rev. Edward Wolfe, a Baptist minister, had preached from time to time at Hope Reformed Church during its early years. In late 1907, he decided to establish a Baptist church. He held services in homes or the schoolhouse until a Baptist church was built just over one and a half kilometres east of the Fifth Meridian. It was called Glory Hills Baptist Church.

Many members of the congregation at Hope Reformed Church left to join this new Baptist church. The church was later moved to the Jespersen farm. In 1911, a larger church was built on land donated by the Jespersens. A cemetery was also established next to the church.

Around 1940, some families decided to leave the Glory Hills Baptist Church to form the Alliance Congregation. Eventually, the Baptist Church closed, and the building was sold to the Pentecostal congregation in approximately 1950. The church was moved to Stony Plain and later demolished.
