Join us on Easter Sunday!

Jesus’ resurrection from the grave is not only the center point for our Christian faith but also the most significant moment in all of human history. We will gather for worship at 10:00 AM at The Collective Venue on 19th Street.

We can’t wait to celebrate Easter with you!

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! - Luke 24:5-6

Join us for the All Gathering on the First Sunday of the month at Westside Church at 4:30 PM. The practice of presence is a primary way Jesus' communities have shaped and influenced one another. Every First Sunday, we gather with the expectation of transformation through the simplicity of smiles on faces, the taking of the Bread & Cup, singing together, hearing the Scriptures taught, and praying for one another... all done under the banner of Jesus' unending love!

There is Kid’s Church for infant-1st grade. 2nd Grade and up, join us in the All Gathering.

After the gathering, we will have tacos catered on-site to enjoy more time to linger and hang with one another ($5 per person, max $20 a family to help cover cost).

We’re doing something special for the last Sunday gathering of the year! On New Year's Eve, December 31, we are doing Songs & Stories at 10:00 AM at The Collective Venue on 19th Street.

All House Churches are coming together to share a meal, so please bring a brunch item to share. We will have a time of eating, singing, and sharing what God has been doing amongst us as a community. Feel free to pray through and contribute in any way —whether it's a song, baking, artwork, Scripture insight, or testimony. Don't feel pressured; everyone's contributions are valued as we grow together in this space.

Hope to see you there!

Our last Advent gathering is on Christmas Eve! Join us at Westside church from 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM as we celebrate the Advent of Jesus - “Emmanuel,” God with Us.

December 21st is the longest night of the year, and we will gather together and spend the evening practicing a liturgy of lament. 

Lament is the biblical practice of taking our hurt and pain to God while simultaneously declaring our trust in him. Jesus welcomes our grief and is acquainted with it. 

We want to acknowledge the dark and broken places in our world and our lives, and it feels appropriate to name our hurt and pain together in the community. The evening will be simple as we take time to pray, read scripture, sing, and look toward our promised hope in Jesus.

No kid care is available, so we ask that you make other arrangements for children.

***We will spend a portion of the evening around the firepit outside, so dress warm.

We hope to see you there!

Seek Night is an intentional opportunity for us to gather as a church family and spend time praying and worshiping God. Prayer is to the Christian life as breathing is to everyday life. We believe that seeking God in prayer and worship is central to being followers of Jesus. We will gather to pray, sing, prophesy, and call on the name of the Lord.

There will be Kid Care for this Seek Night in October for kids infant-sixth grade.
