Westside Baptist Temple

What are services like?
Visiting any church can be a tough experience. We want to put you at ease. First, you can expect it to feel like “church”. You won’t think you’ve stumbled into a rock concert, a theatre, a Broadway musical, a positive-thinking seminar, or a political rally. It’ll different from everything else throughout the week. It will be a breath of fresh air away from this out of control world. A place you and your family can Anchor their lives. Your visit with us will be Refreshing, Friendly, and Enjoyable for your whole family. We want you to experience the Inspiring Music, the Helpful Teaching and Preaching from the Bible, the Friendly People, and a place where you Feel Welcome and at Home!

What is the community like?
PREACHING: We still believe in preaching God’s Word. It will be helpful and practical, but direct and unapologetic. It will be the truth as it’s found in the Bible. Our goal is not to make you laugh, to make you cry, or even to help you feel good. We want to help you change to be the person God wants you to be, by understanding how God’s truth affects your daily life. We’ve found that when people do right according to the Bible, feeling true peace and contentment is automatic and long-lasting. MUSIC: We believe that contemporary music isn’t needed to get people involved in the singing. The hymns are alive and sung with a passion. You will find some old music and some new songs, but all of them will still sound like they belong to God. God deserves quality, and you’ll find that, too. WORSHIP: We believe worship is the act of loving and responding to God! Through the heart-warming, conservative music and the clear, Bible teaching and preaching in our services, your heart will be inspired to love God and then to respond in Spirit and Truth. INVITATION: Every service will end with an invitation to respond to the challenge from God’s Word. Think about this; when God takes time to speak to us, He deserves a response from us. The pastor or trained men and women are always available to pray with you if you need to accept Christ as your Savior or need further help from God’s Word. ————————————————————————– Each week, families are strengthened, encouraged, and drawn closer to God through these special times together. Each service is carefully planned and prayed over so that God may work in all our lives!

What if I'm not a Christian?
While we’d love to have you visit our church, the most important thing is that your sins are forgiven, and that heaven will be your eternal home! Most people claim to be Christians and hope they’re on their way to heaven, but the way they live their lives presents a very different reality. Since I was raised in church and even attended a Christian school, I thought I was a Christian for many years, but the reality was that I was just deceiving myself. I told myself that I was OK. I attended church and had been baptized as a child, but something wasn’t right. I couldn’t deny the reality that my actions proved that I wasn’t a “genuine” Christian. We can’t base our eternal destiny on tradition or only what we’ve been taught, but rather on what the Bible teaches. According to the Bible, one day we’ll all appear before God to be judged according to His Word. Heb. 9:27 We can’t just accept what’s appealing, we must find the truth as it is in the Bible!
