Here are the ways we describe what we are, and what we work to accomplish:
Westside Baptist exists to:
Reveal Christ to our community: Jenison, Hudsonville, Wyoming, Grandville, including the townships of Georgetown, Blendon & surrounding areas. Perhaps you grew up in Church, but remember, you can only be God's child by trusting His Son--have you done so?
Promote biblical thinking and action: only the Bible provides hope for eternal life, and living with joy in the here and now. Our pastor's messages, and all our teachings are designed to continually remind Christians how we can pleasing to God. This often requires difficult personal decisions about how to separate ourselves from sin. Also, love for God moves us as a church to consider what teachings, churches, organizations, and personalities with which we will be associated.
Worship God in song, word, thought and action: not just Sunday morning, but all week long. We are careful with our worship; not old-fashioned, but with an understanding that God is our audience, not ourselves.
Develop spiritual friendships with each other and our neighbors: Christians need other Christians, and our neighbors need Jesus Christ. These relationships serve to strengthen the Church and help us to show others the Love of Christ.
We do this all to glorify God! "...whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1Cor 10:31 NASB
"Westside exists to proclaim Christ, to please Christ and to bring Him glory by the making and maturing of disciples who are becoming conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ."
Proclaiming Christ... Pleasing Christ... For His Glory! *
