Westview Baptist Church

What Westview Baptist Church does

Westview Baptist Church is an independent, non-profit Baptist church established in 1976 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, currently operating from a single facility at 1313 Ranchlands Way NW in the Ranchlands neighborhood. The church serves a multi-generational congregation through in-person Sunday worship services at 10am, complemented by online livestreaming via YouTube and sermon podcasts distributed through iTunes. Its core ministry portfolio spans children's programs (Westview Kids, Summer Day Camps), youth and young adult ministries, community groups, a CADRE School of Discipleship, senior ministries (SAGE and Fit for Life), baptism and membership classes, and worship arts. The church operates with a small staff team of 6 members including Lead Pastor Garry Koop and supporting pastoral, worship, and administrative roles.

The church's technology infrastructure relies entirely on third-party SaaS platforms: Tithely powers its website and online giving, Church Center handles event registrations and membership class sign-ups, YouTube hosts its livestream services, and Right Now Media provides digital discipleship resources to members. It maintains an active social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and distributes a weekly newsletter. The sermon archive spans from 2014 to 2026 with over 63 pages of recorded content, reflecting a sustained content production cadence.

Westview's revenue model is a hybrid of voluntary recurring contributions (tithes and offerings processed through Tithely) and discrete transactional income from summer day camp registration fees ($250/week for 5 weeks, $200 for the 4-day week) and event ticket sales (such as the 50th Anniversary banquet). Subsidies are offered for eligible families to ensure accessibility. The church also channels donations to international mission partnerships, funding nine church buildings in India and Mexico and supporting Rwanda missions through CBM and AEBR. Membership is the primary customer segment, with secondary segments including families with children, youth, young adults, and seniors — each served by dedicated ministry programs.
