About

Our Mission

“Loving People to Jesus”
Westside is a place where real life happens. You don’t have hide to your hurts, and you don’t have to pretend to be a perfect person. Instead, you can feel free to bring your brokenness to God and call on him for help. Jesus has promised to give you healing and hope, and he invites everyone who is weary and carrying heavy burdens to come to him to find rest for their souls (Matthew 11:28). Our mission is to share the love of Jesus and help people discover healing and hope through a relationship with God.

Get Involved!

Is there childcare?
During worship service on Sunday morning we offer a fully-staffed nursery for children under 3 and Kids Praise for children in preschool through 3rd grade. After worship service, we have Bible classes for children and teenagers (6 months through 12th grade). We also offer Bible classes for all ages on Wednesday nights. Contact the church office for more information about our Children’s ministry.
How should I dress?
Westside is a laid-back church that welcomes you just as you are. Most of our members and visitors dress casually so we welcome you to come in whatever makes you feel comfortable!
Is there plenty of parking?
We have ample parking available for you and your family. You may enter off of Stockdale Highway (just west of El Rio Drive) or from the side and rear of our building off of El Rio and Quailwood Road.

Our Leadership

What We Believe

God

Jesus

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Romans 1:3-4) ; that he was born to the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18), lived a sinless life (2 Corinthians 5:21), and that he performed miracles and wonders during his lifetime (Acts 2:22). Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2), was raised back to life on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:4), and ascended to Heaven after his resurrection (Acts 1:9). It is this living savior that we serve today.

We believe that baptism is the means by which a believer experiences the Grace of God and receives the forgiveness of their sins. When a person is baptized (immersed), he or she is added to the Kingdom of God and they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Baptism does not earn our salvation, but it is the means by which God allows his people to experience new life through Jesus. See Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:38, Acts 2:41, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3-4, Colossians 2:12, and 1 Peter 3:21.

Communion

The Church

We believe that God’s church, including the family of believers at Westside Church of Christ, exists to proclaim the good news of Jesus in a lost and hurting world (Matthew 28:18-20). Members at Westside are expected to participate in the mission of the church through worship, prayer, community service, tithing, personal evangelism and a commitment to a small group community. As a family of believers we take pride in caring for one another and living out Jesus’ command to love one another (John 13:34-35). See Romans 12:1, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Hebrews 10:24, 1 Timothy 6:18, and Acts 2:42-47.
