NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
Elim Seventh-Day Adventist Church
Residents within the Westminster Heights
Neighborhood Association began to meet with initial
concerns over crime and safety in 1997. These
concerns led to the formation of a Neighborhood
Crime Watch in November 1997. Early in 1998, the
crime watch group became the Westminster Heights
Neighborhood Association. The association has
developed a website http://www.westminsterheights.com , that includes home of the month, email update list, a
codes committee and other organizational infrastructure to assist in overall neighborhood improvements. The
association's name, Westminster Heights, was a collaboration of the different subdivisions in the area. The
area near the Old Forrest Hill School was Westminster Place Subdivision. The name Westminster Heights
Neighborhood Association came from the Westminster Heights Crime Watch Group. The neighbors that
made up the crime watch group voted in 1998 to become Westminster Heights Neighborhood Association.
Their motto was, “One Neighborhood, One Voice.”
