New Here

Welcome to West Side

At West Side we are all about community – moving from strangers to friends, from friends to family.

We belong to each other in a world that often leaves us feeling alone. Despite coming from many different backgrounds, we find common ground in our commitment to follow Jesus Christ, and to live out his befriending mission in the world.

At West Side, we want to help one another know God better, be known in authentic relationships and to make Jesus known to those around us. Our need for community and a deeper understanding of Christ’s love, has never been more acutely felt than in this past few years of COVID-19.

Now, as we look forward with thankful hearts, we are eager to see what Christ has in store for our church, our community and our city! We invite you to join us on this exciting journey!

When We Meet

West Side offers online and in-person services at 8:30am (traditional) and 10:00am (contemporary).
