Ministry and Groups at Westside

The ministry of Westside extends way beyond the church property. If you are serving God as a missionary in your home, workplace or neighbourhood, please let the pastoral team know of your circumstances so that we can support you both prayerfully and practically. At Westside, we believe in the 'priesthood of all believers', the 'pastor-hood of all believers' and the 'preacher-hood of all believers'. In other words, we recognise that all Christians are called to love and worship God, love and care for their fellow Christians and serve God through missional acts of service and proclamation. We want to support you in this.
