MORNING WAKE UP CALL!!! We’re in Nehemiah 9 today, and it’s powerful. They didn’t put a time limit on God. They had finished building the wall, but God wasn’t finished building them. Six hours. Three hours in the Word. Three hours in worship. And the result? Hearts broke. Sins were confessed. Lives were changed. The wall was rebuilt—but revival was just beginning. What if today God wants to rebuild something in YOU? Don’t rush past what He’s trying to do. Join us this morning at Westside Church. Bible Study at 9:15 AM Worship at 10:30 AM Let’s give God more than a moment—let’s give Him our hearts.

Creativity. Passion. Servant-leadership. Join us this Sunday.

Who Are We?

We want to minister to the entire family… from the womb to the tomb. Dynamic Student and Children’s Ministry. Engaging Worship services. Thriving Bible studies and Small Groups.

Westside has a blended-style of worship that honors the past and embraces the present.

You’ll want to check out our current and archived messages on our YouTube and Facebook Channels.

“I heard they were called the ‘sinner’s church’ because they welcomed folks who had a past. I’m thankful they did… because I am a life that was changed by Jesus here at Westside.”

— Michael

Thanks for checking us out at Westside. Some folks have labeled us, "The Sinner's Church..." Why? The Simple Answer: We are a perfect place for imperfect people. We all have a story to tell. We all come with a past and our own amount of baggage. Our Goal as a church is simple: love God and love people... pure and simple (Matthew 22:37-40). So while we may all enter here as sinners, the Lord continues to change lives one sinner at a time. He can change your life today! He continues to rescue and heal and deliver. So if you feel like you're a sinner that won't be welcome at a church nearby, then you'll definitely want to come and check out Westside. It's a place you can call home. It's a place where we'll introduce you to Jesus. He'll accept you just as you are... but Praise The Lord you won't stay that way. He turns sinners into saints every single day. If we can assist you in any way, please feel free to contact us.
