Westminster Bible Chapel, Burnaby, BC

About Westminster Bible Chapel is located in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia - serving the communities of Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Surrey and beyond. While our church has no formal denominational ties it co-operates with many other churches, both locally and elsewhere. Westminster Bible Chapel has a rich history dating from 1907. We strive to be both faithful to the historic and orthodox Christian faith, and relevant in our modern cultural setting. Our church family enjoys a great diversity in age, ethnicity, background and social composition. Westminster Bible Chapel is known as a ‘friendly’ church. No matter where you are on your journey through life we will endeavour to make you feel welcome and help you live life more fully, as God intends. For over 100 years our neighbours have watched us grow. In 1907, families who shared a commitment to God and one another, established the church now know as “Westminster Bible Chapel.” In the early days our church meetings took place in rented space in Cunningham Hall in downtown New Westminster. Ten years later we purchased a building which was known as the “East Burnaby Gospel Hall” (‘gospel’ means ‘good news’). This building was used for 33 years, until in 1950 a new building was constructed on the current site at 6th Street and Graham Avenue. This building was expanded in 1960 and significantly renovated in 2004. The roots of Westminster Bible Chapel are found in an evangelical renewal movement of the early 1800s commonly known as the Brethren Movement. Historically, this movement was in the forefront of rediscovering and reclaiming many of the practices of the church now commonly enjoyed among Christians throughout the world - practices such as the participation of all Christians in worship and service.
