We believe that this is the work that God wants to do amongst us as a local church community. Our conviction is that He wants to accomplish this by deepening the sense of belonging that those who are a part of the South Abbotsford Church community have to God and to one another, and by inviting those who are not yet a part of His kingdom to find a place of belonging with us.

Central Heights is a vision of God for the glory of His name, and we exist to Savour, Strengthen, and Share that vision. Investing ourselves to understand and actively live the message of Jesus is what we are about. Worshipping, praying, praising, equipping, training and developing a loving community of fully-committed Christ followers is who we are. Living, loving, ministering and touching the lives of people in our neighbourhoods, community, province, nation and world with the message of Jesus Christ is our response to the fullness of God's Spirit in us. We invite you to come join us in this great adventure of faith. Central Heights Church was started in 1950 as a church plant of South Abbotsford Church. Since those beginnings in what was then rural Abbotsford, the church has grown and enlarged its buildings several times. Under the charismatic leadership of a number of lead pastors, the church became a significant presence in the community. The church maintained a focus on missions, and sent and supported a wide variety of families on the mission field. In 1985 the latest building addition included a 1400 seat Worship Centre. This provided the community with a large capacity hall for various events such as graduations and concerts. The 100,000 square foot facility also provided a venue for a variety of conferences, schools, recitals, workshops, etc. Ours is a multi-generational congregation, having a strong representation in each age grouping and enjoy one unified service on Sunday morning. We are currently without a Lead Pastor, with Pastor Chris Douglas leaving us at the end of November, 2010. The church is intentional in leading people to being God Saturated, to being Engaged with each other and the community, and to living Incarnationally - representatives of God to the world. The church is intentionally missionary minded, continuing to support a large contingent of missionaries, as well as being involved in our community both directly and through various local parachurch and community organizations. The church is led by elected Elders, and the pastoral and support staff give leadership to the programs and day to day operations of the church. Recently the church formed its own distinct society, and retained its affiliation with the BC Conference of MB Churches.

It was on March 16, 1910 when eighteen Swedish émigrés founded a home mission work in Matsqui. With encouragement from the First Swedish Baptist Church (now Northwest Baptist) of Bellingham, Washington, these Swedish settlers in the central Fraser Valley all were pioneers in both farming and faith. Swedish was for them the language of heaven and when, in 1944 our Conference decided it was time to conduct services in English, one stalwart Swede remonstrated in her thickly accented Scandinavian melodic English, Have you ever heard of anyone getting saved in English?
