Our Priorities

MINISTRY
We are compelled by our God to minister to all people - those in our own church and neighborhoods, and those farther away. Through mission offerings, local projects, and mission trips to places such as Pennsylvania and Honduras, we have seen God use our church to make a difference in individual lives, families, and communities.

WORSHIP
The psalmist declares, “Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” (Psalm 100:2) At Westview, we respect the holiness of worship as we stand before God and declare his glory and worthiness. While at the same time honoring the biblical command to “rejoice in the Lord.” (Phillipians 4:4)

DISCIPLESHIP
It is the church’s God-given challenge to disciple - that is to teach and mentor - Christians of all ages and experiences so they can grow in their relationship with and service to our God. At Westview our discipleship ministry ranges from Sunday School to youth and children’s activities to small groups that meet throughout the week.

OUTREACH
Jesus said, “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) We believe it is the responsibility of believers to share their faith. By statement and action, our purpose as a church is to bring people to Jesus; therefore, we actively reach out in love.

FELLOWSHIP
The New Testament example of the church gives testimony to a church that, in addition to their active involvement in ministry, worship, discipleship, and evangelism, met regularly together to “break bread”. It is through fellowship with each other that we receive strength, joy, reassurance, accountability, and the encouragement necessary to fulfill the work of the church. At Westview we fellowship regularly at cookouts, holiday parades, an annual block party, Sunday School gatherings, trips, etc.
