Beliefs
A unified
church family
Our West Church motto is “celebrating and serving Jesus together.” We have people from all types of backgrounds, of all ages with a whole variety of life stories – brought together by JESUS and His amazing grace. We are by no means the perfect church. We are passionate about seeing people growing in their relationship with God and to do this we meet together every Sunday to worship God and during the week to further develop and explore God’s truth for us and our world. We want to be a unified church family supporting and encouraging each other to fulfil the vision God has placed on our hearts, which is to be a vibrant, praying church, in which people of all ages are coming to faith in Jesus Christ, growing in Him and reaching out in His love to our community and beyond.
What we believe
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were inspired by God, and they are of supreme and final authority;
There is only one true God, who is eternal and of one essence; yet co-equal persons – we call this the Trinity: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
The second person of the Trinity (the Son), is Jesus Christ, who was from God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
The third person of the Trinity is the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgement. He is in the life of the believer and He empowers the Word of God when it is preached and read.
However, the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins to be a representative and substitute sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him as their Saviour are justified on the basis of His perfect blood being shed.
Three days after His death, Jesus Christ rose again and then ascended into heaven, where He is sitting at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate for us.
We have a hope in a personal, visible and imminent return of Jesus Christ as Lord and King. For all who believe by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, are born again by the Holy Spirit and become children of God and heirs of eternal life.
The Church is made up of the children of God, whose mission is to study the Scriptures, pray and to practice the ordinances of the Church (baptism and the Lord’s Supper). Our commission is to preach the Gospel to the world and make disciples.
