West End Christian Church is a
welcoming and loving community.
We are bound by our common
belief that Jesus Christ is the
Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Our lives have been transformed by
Him. We know that God loves us
and has a purpose for each of us
as individuals and as a church. God
has been gracious to us and has
blessed us with meaning and hope.

SUNDAY
Sunday School Assembly.........9:45 am
Sunday School for all ages....10.00 am
Worship……………….................11:00 am
Our Mission - To be and
share the Good News of
Jesus Christ from our
doorsteps to the end of the
earth - Acts 1:8
We celebrate communion every
Sunday to remember the
sacrifice Jesus made for each
of us on the cross. He died so
that we might have life. The
emblems of bread and cup
symbolize his broken body and
shed blood - the bread of life
and the cup of salvation. Our
elders and deacons are
ordained by the congregation to
be our spiritual leaders and
they preside over the
communion service.
We welcome all to the The Lord's Table as the Lord has welcomed us.

We believe that God is sending our church into the world to spread the Good News that we
have been so blessed to receive and to love and support one another on the way. As Jesus
commands we reach out with compassion to those who are in need – those who are hungry,
thirsty, outcast, cold and alone, and we seek justice for all people. We are also blessed with
opportunities to enjoy fellowship with one another and many fun activities, too.
