Our Values

Our values are the guiding principles that shape who we are and how we live as a church family. They're more than just words–they're invitations to a deeper relationship with God and each other.

Love For the Story of Scripture 

God has spoken to us through the redemptive story of the Bible and we recognize it as the centering narrative in our lives. We believe the Bible is alive and relevant, offering guidance, hope, and truth for every aspect of our existence.

Can you find yourself in God’s story?

Intentional Time With God

A personal relationship with Christ involves understanding God’s truth, following His example, and feeling His delight. This requires intentional time spent in prayer, reflection, and engaging with His Word. It's in these moments that we grow closer to Him.

How are you spending time with God?

Investing & Inviting

God’s message of forgiveness through Christ is most effectively conveyed within the context of personal relationships. We are called to intentionally build relationships, share our lives, and lovingly invite others to experience the transformative power of the gospel.

In whom are you investing and inviting to Westtown?

A Place to Belong

God desires us to have a community of fellowship and care. We believe in the power of genuine connection, where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported. Our small groups (Life Groups, Discipleship Groups, Bible Studies) are designed to foster these deep, life-giving relationships.

Are you actively participating in a small group?

Others First

Because Christ came to serve and not be served, we are called to put others first. This means actively looking for opportunities to serve our church family, our community, and the world with humility and compassion.

In what specific ministry are you serving?

Our Core Beliefs

We believe that Gods mission is to rescue and redeem a broken world. God sent his son, Jesus to live, die and resurrect, defeating sin and Satan in order to bring his people into relationship with Him. We want people to be awed at the relevance and penetration of the gospel in their lives. 

The good news of redemption reaches far beyond gaining a moral compass and learning to get along with others. Rather, it is about being united to Christ through faith in His accomplished work on the cross.

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR THE WORLD.  

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 
Genesis 1:26-27

SIN CREATED A BARRIER TO GOD.  

This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. 
Romans 3:23

GOD THE FATHER CHOSE TO GIVE US GRACE AND SEND HIS SON JESUS. 

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” 
John 3:16-17

THE GOSPEL OFFERS A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  

That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 
Romans 10:9-10
