Plan Your Visit
Let’s face it.
Visiting a church for the first time can be a little intimidating.
Our goal is to help make your first visit to the West End Church of Christ great and help you make a connection with Jesus and with his people!
What to Expect
We understand the many thoughts that can come from visiting a new church, so we want you to feel right at home when you visit.
What happens when I arrive?
You’ll be welcomed at the door. The greeter can help you with any questions and guide you to the welcome center for more information, to the auditorium (where we gather for worship) or to a class. There are no reserved seats so feel free to visit anytime and sit anywhere! Let us know you’re coming and we’ll save you a seat!
What is a service like?
We will have congregational singing, and you will hear spoken prayers and a lesson that is Bible-centered and applicable to your life. One of the unique things about West End is that the music is ‘a cappella’. We sing without the use of musical instruments. We love the beauty and joy of worshiping God, the way He has authorized, from our hearts and with our voices. We believe you will find the singing meaningful and uplifting, with everyone being invited to participate. If you want a clearer picture, click here to watch our service live!
What should I wear?
There is no dress code. Many of our members dress up and some dress casually. What’s most important to us is that you are here with us.
What is expected of me?
We hope you’ll participate in the worship service. But don’t feel obligated. You can just observe if that is your choice. We would love for you to hang around after worship so we can welcome you and get to know you! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions or let us know if there is something you’d like to study about.
What about my kids?
We have attended nurseries on Sunday morning during worship for infants and toddlers. During our class times on Sunday and Wednesdays we offer Bible classes for all ages from infants to adults. There are additional programs for children on Sunday mornings and evening. We enjoy very active children’s and youth ministries. Click below to learn more!
What about communion (the Lord’s Supper)?
The Lord’s Supper will be included in our worship time each Sunday. During this time, trays of unleavened bread (symbolizing the body of Jesus) and cups of grape juice (symbolizing the blood of Jesus) will be passed throughout the auditorium. You do not have to participate in this celebration of what Jesus did for us on the cross. You are welcome to just pass the trays to the next person.
Will you ask me for money?
After the Lord’s Supper, baskets are passed to collect a financial offering. As our guest, you are not expected to make a donation. Feel free to just pass the basket to the next person.

We Believe…
the Bible
as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct; is a light guiding our path
(2 Timothy 3:16; Psalm 119:10)
every person has worth
as a creation of God, but all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)
our Lord Jesus Christ
lived a sinless human life and is the one and only sacrifice for our sins; He was resurrected from the dead and ascended back to heaven (1 Corinthians 15:1-8; John 3:16)
obeying Christ
means repenting of sin, confessing your faith in Christ as the Son of God and being baptized into Him for the forgiveness of sins (Romans 10:9; Acts 2:38)
forgiveness
of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to all who obey the will of Christ the Savior and Lord
(John 3:16; Mark 16:16)
the church
is the Body of Christ, is empowered by the Holy Spirit and exists to save the lost and edify the saved (Ephesians 4:1-16)
the resurrection
of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
