Welcome to Westside!

God is in control! Youre not looking at our website by accident. We are thrilled at how He plans to encourage you through us.
God is on the move! He is spreading His kingdom throughout the whole world. We have a passion to be part of His work. Heres our passion in a nutshell:

How are we different?
There are other Bible-believing, Christ-exalting churches in Great Falls. (By that we mean churches which agree with the five basic convictions of the Reformation.)But what makes Westside unique? Heres a quick taste:
Worship fuels everything: glorifying God is more than music. It is the essence of life. It should consume our all. It must drive our praying and evangelism. We worship in truth. Therefore, we aim to build our praise on the perfect Scriptures in our preaching, teaching, music and lifestyle. And we worship in spirit. Therefore, our praise is not measured by fancy clothes, stylish buildings or state-of-the art technology.
The absolute sovereignty of God: He is completely in charge! He invades and mercifully changes hardened souls. We affirm the Bibles paradox of Gods unconditional predestination and real human choices and responsibility. Check out our elders affirmations in the statement of faith page under About Us.
A plurality of elders: there is one Senior Pastor of the churchJesus Christ! He remains the chief Shepherd. No leader has all the talents a congregation needs. And every leader needs the accountability of other leaders in the church. Team leadership is balanced leadership. See more on this at our how we are structured page under About Us.
Male spiritual leadership: we take the Bible text of 1 Timothy 2:11-15 in its plain, simple sense. Concerning spiritual teaching or authority, men must be taught and led by men. So, our elders are men and ministries involving men are led by men. Nevertheless, theres a lot that men need to learn from women through informal means. (This means we dont ignore other Bible texts like Galatians 3:28.)
Church discipline: to be a Christian is to pursue holiness. To grow in grace we need each others help. Sometimes that requires tough love. In Westside members hold each other accountable. The reputation of the Gospel is our passion; the restoration of people, our goal. Check out our statement on our Conflict Resolution page under About Us.
