Biographical history

Westview United Church began holding Sunday school classes in the old Westview School Annex, and the minister from St. John's United in Powell River would come once a month to read the children stories. In the late '20s and '30s Westview was growing rapidly and there was an urgent need for a Sunday School Hall. This was built in 1931, and not long after church services began. Due to crowding, it was decided a church should be built, and in 1951 the Opening and Dedication service for Westview United Church was held. Sometime between 1955 and 1959 there was a fire and part of the church had to be rebuilt. In 1968 Westview United amalgamated with St. John's United to form St. John's-Westview United Church.
