Administrative History

Mennonite families began moving into the Grassy Lake area in 1926. The congregation began with 7 charter members in 1927. During these early years the families met for worship in their homes. Then a few years later rented facilities were used. They received church leadership assistance from the Coaldale congregation. In the 1936, there were 19 members and they built their own meeting house, first the basement, and then in 1949 the upper sanctuary. In 1961, the membership stood at 46. In 1970, an educational wing was added.

In 1982, with a membership of 33, they completed a new meeting house in the town site and they changed their name to the Westview Community Church. The membership in 2000 was 32.
