College Heights Seventh-day Adventist Church, Lacombe, AB

The Lacombe Seventh-day Adventist Church was organized at a Sunday morning meeting, October 17, 1909, held in the “chapel room of the North Hall, ” probably in the temporary barn-like structure housing the infant Alberta Industrial Academy. The chairman, Elder C.A. Burman, President of the Alberta Conference, declared the other eight committee members charter members of the fledgling church who immediately voted into membership fifteen other applicants. A slate of five officers was elected to serve this tiny church body – an elder, a deacon, a treasurer, a clerk and a librarian.
