Westside King's Church

What Westside King's Church does

Westside King's Church (legal name: Westside King's Church Society) is a non-profit Christian church incorporated under the Societies Act of Alberta and registered as a charity under the Income Tax Act (Canada), operating from a single location at 3939 69 Street SW, Calgary, Alberta. Founded in the 1990s, the church conducts two in-person Sunday worship services (9:00 am and 11:00 am) featuring worship, prayer, scripture teaching, and communion, with live streaming on YouTube and an audio podcast distributed via Anchor.fm. It serves a broad community of seekers and believers through a centred-set community model built on three stated commitments — Being Jesus Centred, Engaging as a Dialogical Community, and Pursuing Wholeness — and segments its ministry across children (6 months to grade 3), youth (grades 4-12), young adults, and pastoral care, supported by approximately 6-10 staff and a Board of Trustees operating under Carver Policy Governance.

The church's product surface extends beyond weekly services to include The Journal Project (a print devotional following the Revised Common Lectionary, with the 2025-2026 edition launched November 30, 2025), kids and youth programming, pastoral care appointments, and a justice/serve program channelling at least 10% of budget to six named partners — three local (Calgary Dream Centre, Hope Mission, Calgary Pregnancy Care Centre) and three global (Hands at Work in Africa, Woven International, International Justice Mission). Its technology stack consists of a Squarespace-hosted website integrated with the Church Center platform for event registrations, giving, and pastoral scheduling; digital engagement runs through Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and an email newsletter.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes, offerings, and charitable donations, with no fixed giving amount requested. Members contribute via Sunday giving stations, pre-authorized monthly debits, credit card payments, online giving, gifts in kind, and stock donations processed through Link Charity, with tax receipts issued under the church's registered charity status. Financial oversight rests with a finance committee whose updates are reviewed at monthly Board of Trustees meetings and communicated quarterly to the congregation via newsletter. The church does not disclose revenue, attendance, or membership figures publicly.
