1988
Triangle
Baptist Church in Nederland, Texas was founded in the Spring of 1988.
A dedicated group of men and women gathered together
with a common vision and concern: To see God’s
Word
spread throughout the Golden Triangle region of
the SE Texas Gulf Coast. Mike Oppizzi
served as pastor during that early period.
In the fall of 1988, Mike Oppizzi was
succeeded by Brice Mandaville. Under
Brice’s leadership, the church became
firmly established, seeing growth both spiritually
and in new members.
1992
In the spring of 1992 the doors to the
present facilities were opened. As our
congregation
continued to grow in the following years, an
emphasis on evangelism and discipleship helped to
build relationships as the church continued to reach
out to Nederland and surrounding communities.
2001
After 12 years as pastor, the Lord
called Brice Mandaville to serve at another church.
Chris Ruwaldt was called as the new pastor.
Continuing the emphasis on Biblical
preaching, Chris Ruwaldt served for two years.
2005
Eric Armstrong was called as pastor
in the summer of 2005.
In
September, Hurricane Rita left her imprint on
much of the surrounding area, including parts of
the Triangle Baptist church building. Through God's mercy and providence, damage
was repaired and hope renewed.
2008
In
October we celebrated our
20-Year Anniversary.
Today
It is our prayer the Lord
continue to lead and display His wonderful grace in
our congregation. We see His guiding hand
and are humbled and thankful for His providential
hand in our past, present, and future. Praise
Him for His glorious work!
