Westheights Community Church is a vibrant community church located on the west side of the City of Kitchener. The church was planted in the late 1970s when a group of people with a desire to reach out to a rapidly growing area of the city began meeting. Since then, the Westheights story has been one of growth and innovation as the congregation strives to be a contemporary Anabaptist expression of the Kingdom of God in Kitchener-Waterloo.
