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.
St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church is a community of approximately 1200 families in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Our Parish family is made up of over 50 nationalities, and we are excited to live out our Catholic faith with enthusiasm and love for our neighbours. The parish belongs to the Archdiocese of Vancouver and originally marked its boundaries as follows: on the north, by the Fraser River; on the south, by the Canada-USA boarder; on the east, by the Vedder Canal; and on the west by Mt. Lehman Road. It comprised a total of two hundred square miles of British Columbia's scenic beauty. St. Ann's is a busy place! With activities for all ages, there is something for everyone. Mass is celebrated daily and in several different languages. Please see our Mass Times page for more information. We celebrated 8o years as a Parish in 2009, and to prepare for the next 80 years, our Church is in the planning and fundraising stage for a future expansion of our Church building. Everyone is welcome to look at the architectural drawings displayed in the Parish Centre and the Church vestibule and to offer feedback and ideas. We are excited for our future in Abbotsford and our continued growth in the Archdiocese!

Early in 1990 a small group of Christians began meeting in a large old farmhouse near the US border in Abbotsford. All were hungry for a deeper and richer knowledge of the Lord. As numbers increased a larger meeting room was added.photo-e1343085431197The
