West Vancouver Baptist Church has had a vital and powerful impact on the North Shore for over 80 years.
WVBC had a very modest beginning in the summer of 1921 when a few families under the direction of the Baptist Mission Board decided to hold worship services at the Ambleside Hall. It began its life as First Baptist Church, West Vancouver, organized officially in 1924 with 27 Charter members. The church moved to its current site and facilities in 1967.
