Eastview Community Church is a Mennonite Brethren church in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It split from the River East Mennonite Brethren Church in 1990.[1] At first, they rented a facility with a seating capacity of 150, and they eventually built a church building in 1995.[2] In 2003, Eastview was a satellite host church for the Willow Creek Association Leadership Summit.[3] The church periodically holds a musical performance called "HymnSing", hosting the event in April of 2009,[4] September of 2009,[5] and March of 2010.[6] The September 2009 performance featured the Muddy River Quartet, the Encore Vocal Quartet, and the Eastman Male Choir.[5] In November of 2009, Steve Bell had a concert at the church.[7] In October of 2010, the church hosted the inaugural Honouring Heroes Award Ceremony, an annual event recognizing people who have fought to support victims of sexual trafficking.[8] Member of Parliament (MP) Joy Smith conducted the ceremony.[9] In response to a 2012 Winnipeg production of She Has a Name, a Canadian play about human trafficking by Andrew Kooman, the church hosted a discussion with three human trafficking experts, including Dianna Bussey, Director of Correctional and Justice Services with The Salvation Army; and Shona Stewart, director of Dignity House, a halfway house for former sex workers.[10]
