[edit] History
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.
The leaders at Westview Bible Church, Dorval, QC have included Richard Kimoff, Roy Hoffman, David Knight, Robert Reynolds, John Kelsall, Rowland Phare, Ted Kass, John Reoch, Don Liesemer, and Joseph Kass. Westview Bible Church, Dorval, QC holds two Sunday morning services, one being a mix of traditional and contemporary styles, at which up to 150 attend. The second is more contemporary, and approximately 400 attend that service, including a significant number of seekers. Over two-thirds of the congregation are under 35 years of age. About 30 to 40 people, a mixture of believers and seekers, have attended the Alpha program of Gospel outreach, in which a number have been saved. The Lord’s Supper is celebrated once a month on Sunday mornings, and small groups are encouraged to Remember the Lord in their homes for those who don’t come to the other services. The church is involved in a number of parachurch ministries, such as Intervarsity, Youth for Christ, Hockey Ministries, On Rock Ministries, and MAP International.
