Discipleship at Westside
Westside's Mission and Purpose is to make disciples by helping people know, follow, and serve Jesus here and around the world. This means that everything we do is centered on the gospel and the command to make disciples (Matt. 28:19). A disciple is a learner and follower of Jesus, formed to display Jesus and replicate themselves. Our goal to help people know, follow, and serve Jesus is to make, mature, and multiply disciples of Jesus. At Westside, we are committed to walking with God's people in growth, care and equipping them for ministry work. Discipleship can happen in many different ways, and we provide many aspects of our ministries to encourage deeper growth along your journey.

9:00 Service Time
Habakkuk and Malachi: An Introduction to the Minor Prophets
Shane Osborne & Justin Palmer | Room 301
Study and apply the truths taught by the Old Testament prophets Habakkuk and Malachi. As we walk through these books in the context of their day, we will explore their place in the story of redemption and what God is communicating to His people today.
Behold the Lamb of God! A Study of the Book of John, Part 1
Debbie Adams & Stacey Cayton | Room 302
Study the Gospel of John and behold the beauty, majesty, and worth of Jesus Christ. Together, we will explore John’s testimony that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing in Him we may have life in His name.
A Life Turned Upside Down
Micah Sugg | Room 305
Study the life of the apostle Peter across the four Gospels and Acts. We will see Jesus transform an impulsive fisherman into a steadfast shepherd of the church and discover how the same Christ who restored, confirmed, strengthened, and established Peter is still at work in His people today.
Whatever You Do
Mike Chipman | Room 307
Explore how Christ redeems ordinary life through the biblical doctrine of vocation. Because Christ is Lord over all things, our everyday responsibilities in work, family, church, and community become places where God forms us, calls us to obedience, and works through us for the good of others.
10:30 Service Time
Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I?
Ken Jewell | Room 301
Explore the biblical teaching of forgiveness through Tim Keller’s book Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I? We will examine the impact of unresolved emotional wounds and consider what Scripture teaches about extending and receiving forgiveness.
The Sermon on the Mount
David Eaton | Room 307
Walk through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and explore what He teaches about life in His kingdom. Together, we will consider how Jesus calls His followers to live and how His words shape our faith and everyday lives.
Small Groups
At Westside, small groups aim to help one another be DOERS of God's Word and not just HEARERS only. Without community, it can be very easy to come to church, sing some songs, listen to a sermon, and then leave without it having any impact on our lives. The hope for small groups is to change this by bringing people together to discuss the previous Sunday's sermon and help one another apply it to their lives. So, in short, small groups are sermon-based and application-based groups. Click below to see our current small groups.
If you are interested in leading a Small Group, contact Pastor Braden Hilton.
D-Groups
A Discipleship Group, or a “D-Group,” is a gender-specific, closed group of 3-5 believers who meet together weekly for the purpose of accelerated spiritual transformation. Groups meet for 12-18 months with the expectation that participants will start their own group. They meet on a weekly basis to help each other grow and mature spiritually and to hold each other accountable. Some weekly habits are bible reading, scripture memorization, journaling, prayer, and accountability. Through our D-Groups, we are creating an intimate setting of intentional discipleship that puts high emphasis on accountability, commitment, responsibility, and expectation. Each believer who goes through a D-Group will experience personal accountability, mutual edification, and spiritual enrichment. If you want to be in a D-Group, your first step is joining a Sunday School Class or Small Group. If you would like more information, please get in touch with Pastor Braden Hilton.
