100 YR Celebration
2021 was our Centenary Year
In 2021 we celebrated one hundred years since the first Baptist Church building was relocated to Yandina, and the formal constitution of the Yandina Baptist Church. Several previous Yandina Baptist pastors were invited to preach at selected times during the year. The main celebratory event was held on the weekend of the 5th & 6th June, with a history display and other activities.
Thank you to all who came to celebrate with us. It was great to catch up with old friends from times past. Many came from all over Queensland to share in these events. On the right:
