Baptism is an important step of obedience that demonstrates to others that we have personally trusted Jesus for our salvation. When we are baptized we are following Jesus’ example (Matthew 3:16-17) and obeying His command. (Acts 2:38)

We are holding classes that will cover everything you need to know about baptism on September 29th and October 6th. You can register for one of these classes and be baptized in our service on the 13th by following the link below.

We are continuing our conversation about Biblical Masculinity, speaking specifically about the “Warrior Calling” on every man’s life.

If you volunteer with Hospitality at Westwood Church, we want to invite you
to attend a special Luncheon on April 28th following the morning service.

This will be a time to pray over this ministry that is growing in importance.
It will also be an opportunity to discuss next steps on how to become even more excellent at welcoming people to our church.

*** If you are on this team,
please mark your calendars and plan to be there.

Each month at Westwood, we set aside the third Thursday night of the month for a time of community prayer. We do this because we want prayer to be a priority in our congregation, because Jesus as our example was a man of prayer, and because we believe our power to go forth in the authority of Christ is linked directly to prayer.

1 John 5:14–15 (ESV)

14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

We hope you will make plans to join us. It is our firm confidence, you will find this to be a time of refreshing and connection with others.

This year, we will be celebrating Resurrection Sunday in a special way!
