[edit] History
In the late 1940s, an assembly meeting at Bethel Chapel, Pointe Claire, QC was started in Pointe Claire, a suburb on the west end of the island of Montreal. It prospered and when the building could no longer accommodate the numbers then attending, a group of about 160 people left Bethel Chapel, Pointe Claire, QC to establish a new work called Westview. This was in 1985. Bethel Chapel, Pointe Claire, QC continues as a strong assembly.
The Westview Bible Church, Dorval, QC first met in rented quarters in Dorval, a southern suburb of Montreal. Joseph Kass, a chairman of the elders at Bethel Chapel, Pointe Claire, QC , resigned in order to help establish the new assembly. The Westview Bible Church, Dorval, QC subsequently moved through other locations, and in 1987 purchased a six_acre lot further west on the island in Pierrefonds. Here they built a chapel with a 500_seat auditorium and a full gymnasium.
