Westheights celebrates 27 years!

Westheights Community Church is part of a Christian evangelical denomination called the Brethren in Christ—BIC for short. “Brethren” is a historic term we use to describe the value we place on community. The BIC have a shared heritage with the Mennonites and other Anabaptist groups. What began over two hundred years ago as a grass roots movement to get back to the simple teachings of Jesus has now grown to a fellowship of churches across North America and in twenty countries around the world. For more information about the BIC, visit their website at www.bic-church.org. As part of the Canadian BIC conference, we cooperate towards the operation of two organizations. We operate a camp called Kahquah (strange name, cool camp). Camp Kahquah is a wonderful camp in Northern Ontario located near the community of Magnetewan. The second BIC organization is a Christian school called Niagara Christian Collegiate located in Fort Erie, Ontario. NCC is a top quality high school with a unique blend of International and Canadian students. The BIC is also a partner with the North American Mennonite Church for the operation of a relief organization called Mennonite Central Committee. Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is a relief, service, and peace agency reflecting the biblical call to care for the hungry and the thirsty, the stranger and the naked, the sick and those in prison (Matthew 25:35-36).

Westheights Community Church was formed on November 26, 1978, meeting in the music room of Westheights Public School. In 1986, a permanent building was erected at 82 Westheights Drive in Kitchener.
