What kind of church are we?
We are a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship affiliated congregation doing our best to live out our call to follow Christ through loving and serving the world around us. . . but there is more to our story. . .
A Welcome from Our Senior Pastor
I’m really glad you found your way here!
Westwood is a community of people who are trying to take faith seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. This means that we don’t expect you to have all the answers, or even to be sure what you believe when you visit us. What we care about is showing up honestly, making room for one another, and trusting that God meets us in real life, not just in perfect moments.
Whether you’re carrying faith, questions, doubt, hope, grief, or some mix of all of that, you are welcome here. I hope you’ll visit, meet some kind people, and see if this might be a place where you can belong and breathe a little easier.
