Westview Baptist Church began as a "gleam in the eye"
of seventy-six members of First Baptist Church in 1965. First
known as Temple Baptist, this group met on September 5 of that
year in Nollville, WV under the leadership of Chaplain Fred
Duckett. With the purchase of 4.3 acres of land in west Martinsburg
across the street from Rosemont Elementary School on September
23, 1965, the congregation adopted the name "Westview Baptist
Church." The Shenandoah Baptist Association accepted Westview
for membership on October 15. The church adopted its constitution
and by-laws two years later, on August 27, 1967.
Westview held groundbreaking services for new church buildings
on May 15, 1966, and dedicated them on January 14, 1967. On
June 2, 1974, the church broke ground for a new educational
building and occupied it in March 1975. In May 1976, Westview
dedicated its "Marion Allesio Memorial Library." In
1999, Westview completed the construction phase of its "Challenge
to Build" program for additional Bible study and fellowship
space, including modernized kitchen and dining facilities.
