Our 09h00 service is streamed live each week on our YouTube channel.

Benediction

Michael Bishop2025-10-13

Our services and many of our meetings end with a blessing (or benediction). The words are so familiar that we can find our minds wandering even as we speak them, but this is a powerful thing that we are doing. We are reminding each other that as we part, we do not leave alone - we go in the company and the strength of the risen Christ.

Unashamed

Michael Bishop2025-10-06

This week in our Alpha course, we heard a testimony from a man who became a Christian while serving a jail sentence in Britain for having committed multiple violent crimes. His life has now been turned around. Since his release, he has devoted himself to reaching out to other men in prison - sharing his life story and the good news of the gospel. He has a stable, loving family and seems to be a completely new person.

A W Tozer once said that the "most important thing about us is what comes into our mind when we think about God". That's quite a claim! Author J B Phillips obviously felt that we were failing in this most important task when he wrote a book in the 1950's called "Your god is too small". Over the next four Sundays we are going to be using some of Phillips' ideas to help us notice where we have settled for a shrunken God - a caricature of the real Person.

Connecting

Groups

Great as it is to be all together on Sundays, it is in small groups that we experience the best of community life - friendships, encouragement and a shared journey following Jesus in the midst of ordinary life. Contact us if you'd like to join a group, or visit our groups page for news and more info.

Come and meet us

It's easy to feel anonymous in a church community, but we really want to get to know all our people. We serve tea and eats at every service and would love to meet you! If you're new, sign up for one of our regular Newcomers Tea's.

Mission projects

We support many worthwhile causes in our area and host two relief projects on our property - the Westville Churches Food Bank and our Soup Kitchen. Plan to come and visit these projects and find out where you can play your part.

Serving in a team

Serving forms us. It changes us from guests into hosts and really makes us feel like part of the church family. Whatever your gifts and availability, we have a team for you to join - musicians, greeters, tea / coffee pourers, tech support, maintenance gurus, designers, decorators, organisers, communicators, and more! Let us know where you'd like to help.

Giving

Ministry is made possible at WMC through the faithful and generous giving of our people. More than that, for Jesus, giving is a discipleship issue - it reveals where our heart is. Find more details about our planned giving programme here.

Questions

If you need help or advice with a memorial service, please contact our office. Your family do not need to be linked to our church - we will do our best to help.

Our minister conducts a limited number of wedding services for couples connected to our church. We are not able to host large receptions on our property.

We baptise adults (who have not been baptised before) and the children of members of the church. Contact our minister for more details.
