Westover Church is a non-denominational Christian church located at 505 Muirs Chapel Road. Westover Church began in 1948 as the Independent Presbyterian Church, Inc. of Greensboro, NC. Two hundred and seven people attended the first service. According to their website, original services were held at the Masonic temple and in 1950, the congregation had their own building on Westover Terrace. In the 1950's the Reverend Billy Graham led a six week crusade here and the church experienced considerable growth. By 1994, they had outgrown their original building and relocated to Muirs Chapel Road between Market Street and Friendly Avenue. The church expanded again in 2006 and, in the building above, has a sanctuary that accommodates close to 3,000 people. The church has never been affiliated with the Presbyterian church but models its style of governance after the Presbyterian church. Central to the mission of Westover Church is supporting missionaries around the world and at present, they give one and a half million dollars to this cause.
