Stolen Church Coffee Co.

Stolen Church Coffee Co. Small batches of premium coffee roasted on the shore of Lake Windermere Defiantly not like something you will find in every grocery store or every gas station.

Exciting single origin, micro-lot, and estate coffees roasted in micro small batches- resulting in some of the freshest and most unique coffee you will experience. Our name comes from the entertaining and inspiring story of local settlers who missed their church so much, they moved it without permission in 1887 to their new home on the shores of Lake Windermere. We hope to bring the same level of

passion, dedication, and boldness to our quality coffee offerings. The full story of the "Stolen Church" goes something like this:

Our name comes from the St Peter's Anglican Church which now sits in the wonderful bedroom community of Windermere BC. The church was originally constructed in 1887 in Donald BC. In 1887 the CPR changed their divisional point from Donald to Revelstoke BC, and many of the buildings were dismantled and slated to be moved. One of Donald's leading citizens Rufus Kimpton choose to move to Windermere instead of Revelstoke. After settling in Windermere, Rufus' wife Celina missed "her" church so much, her husband had the pieces of the church moved by wagon and barge without the knowledge of the town officials, and he then reconstructed the church in its present location of Victoria Avenue and Kootenay Street in Windermere. During the move, the bell from the church was stolen by members of the community in Golden- resulting in there being both the 'stolen church' in Windermere, and the 'stolen church bell' in Golden. There was many angry letters written from residents in Revelstoke, demanding that their church be returned, but these demands are ignored. In 1957 a group from Windermere stole the bell from Golden in an attempt to reunite it with their church. A sort time later the bell was returned to Golden. Presently the church is administered by the Windermere Valley Shared Ministry and the Diocese of Kootenay. Windermere residents maintain the lawn and the building. Stolen Church Coffee Co. intends to provide an annual donation to help with the preservation and maintenance of the building and in recognition of the unique part of the Windermere Valley history the building and the legend plays.
