The Story Of Westview Bible
Church
Once
upon a time in a land far, far away, well not that far
away – just downtown but it was long, long ago, several
families from a downtown Montreal Brethren assembly on St.
Antoine Street migrated east to Rosemount, finding
employment in local railway and shipyards.
July 1929: A tent is pitched on a
vacant lot and many children come to hear stories about
Jesus. Several people are saved and baptized.
September 1929: With support from
their home assembly, the believers launch a new assembly,
renting facilities in Rosemount, with 25 adults and their
children meeting for Sunday School and Breaking of Bread.
Ebenezer Gospel Hall in born.
Fast forward to the 1950’s: The
1950’s were a time of significant growth of the Rosemount
and surrounding districts as the parents of the baby
boomers set up their homes. Five neighborhood English
Protestant schools were soon filled to overflowing. Many
more people began to attend the Chapel and it was in these
years that several families from Ebenezer joined some
others from Cote St. Luc Bible Chapel to found a new
Brethren assembly in the West Island, Bethel Chapel.
Fast forward to the 1980’s. Bethel
Chapel started to outgrow it’s building, so a group of
leaders and a number of people left to begin a new church,
and in September 1985 Westview Bible Church was born. It
started as a church in a rented facility in Dorval, until
land was purchased on the corner of St. Charles and
Pierrefonds Boulevard, and a building was built in August
1988 and named Westview Bible Church.
The rest they say is history.
