"In A Nutshell..."
Westside Baptist Church, formed in the Spring of 2007, is a community of believers in Jesus Christ, submitted to the authority of the Word of God.
- We believe the Word of God to be 100% trustworthy and true, inerrant, infallible in its purpose, and in its authority over man and the church.
- As best we can, we have organized and direct the ongoing activities of our church in accordance with Scripture.
- We are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the Kentucky Baptist Convention, as well as our local association, Severns Valley.
- We believe the 2000 Baptist Faith & Message fairly represents what we believe. Westside is also in agreement with the principles found at www.founders.org and www.9marks.org.
- We believe in the reality of sin and hell, the necessity of evangelism, and the exclusivity of Christ for salvation.
- We believe in the sovereignty of God in all things, yet we challenge and encourage and plead with the free will / responsibility of man.
- We believe the family is separated enough in our culture, so we strive to do the opposite in our church. While we do have a nursery ministry, we encourage family worship as much as possible.
- We are an elder-led, congregational church, having Members' Meetings each quarter.
Our Basic Mission
Our desires at Westside can be worded simply, "Striving for Authentic Christianity." We recognize, however, those simple words are no simple matter. Our quest is two-fold: "Worshiping God and Loving Others." Again, no simple matter if we get our direction from the Word of God. Scripture tells us we need each other in this journey of life. Empowered by God's Holy Spirit, driven to be better conformed to the image of Christ, functioning as a part of the body for which Christ died -- the Church.
