The North Platte Baptist Church was founded on July 3, 1977, under the leadership of Pastor Bob Gelsthorpe. The church has a long-standing history of helping the people of North Platte and the surrounding communities through the bus ministry, Noah’s Ark Daycares, Canaan Media, and Great Plains Baptist College.
In 2010 the North Platte Baptist Church started the Noah’s Ark Daycare. For the past ten years Noah’s Ark Daycare has been providing a quality pre-school program for the children of North Platte.
