About Westview Baptist Church

Westview Baptist Church is a Christian place of worship located on Wonderland Road South in the Westmount neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The church serves the local community by offering a welcoming environment where people can foster their faith and build relationships. They provide various programs for different age groups, including children's programs and camps during March Break and the summer, as well as youth meetups, outings, and road trips. Adult ministries include quilting, badminton, a men's breakfast, and a women's Bible study, while Life Groups offer additional faith and worship opportunities. The church describes its mission as sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ while building loving relationships, with a vision to see lives transformed through his love. The organization emphasizes values of connection, spiritual growth, outreach, loving relationships, and diversity. To support these goals, the church operates a food cupboard, cooks meals for families in need, and sends missionaries to locations such as Rwanda, Lebanon, and South Africa. The congregation began in 1981 in a small portable trailer for Westmount residents, with seed money and members provided by the Adelaide Street Baptist and First Baptist Churches. Led by founding pastor The Reverend Alex Moir, the church moved into its current permanent building in 1985 and later added the Westview Family Life Centre in 1995, which includes a gymnasium, classrooms, a nursery, a playroom, and a youth recreation room. The current team includes Pastor and Christian Education Specialist Tina, who has served the church since 2005, and Ministry Assistant Kathy, who has been on the staff for over 20 years. The church is also led by a volunteer executive board.
