The mission of Westside Church is to help people take their next step towards Christ.
We do this through Spirit Led Worship, Teaching with Purpose, Encouraging and Serving, Powerful Prayer, and Sharing the Gospel with those around us.

Westside will be a church growing spiritually for Christ, applying the standard of God's perfect Word as the absolute authority over our lives.  We will grow by following Christs example as we embrace all people through the ministries of our heart in worship, our feet walking with other beliebers sharing in fellowship, our head learning God's Word din discipleship, and our hands serving other in ministry through caring, missions, and evangelism.  We will strive with excellence to grow together in Christ.

We believe that Jesus Christ loves you, died for you, and rose from the grave to save you.  We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most essential of all beliefs, and so we proclaim boldly that we worship the resurrected savior, Jesus Christ.
