A Purpose Driven Church
At Westsong we make it our goal to do things "on purpose."
As a purpose driven church, Westsong Community Church is driven by the five Biblical purposes specified by God in the scriptures. The purpose driven church baseball diamond is a visual road map that communicates God’s purpose for our lives.
Membership (Fellowship) - We commit ourselves to God and to his people, the church - which gives us a place to belong.
Maturity (Discipleship) - We grow as we learn and practice the habits that nurture spiritual development.
Ministry (Service) – We use the abilities, experiences and spiritual gifts that God has given us to serve God and others.
Mission (Evangelism) – We share our lives and our faith with others, telling them about who Christ is and what he has done to offer us eternal life. We join our lives with God as his partners in his mission to redeem the fallenness of our world.
Magnification (Worship) – We meet together each week in worship where God is exalted and we are encouraged.
C.L.A.S.S.
At Westsong Community Church we believe it’s important to provide opportunities for people who come to know Christ to develop into mature Christians. To help you experience spiritual growth, we offer a series of courses and workshops designed to move you through the spiritual growth process. We call these our C.L.A.S.S.es. The acronym stands for C.hristian L.ife A.nd S.ervice S.eminars.
First Base - Membership - CLASS 101
Goal: To lead people to Christ and membership at Westsong Community Church. In Class 101 we discuss the basics of the Christian faith: Salvation by faith in Jesus, becoming part of a church family, and beginning to find God’s purpose in your life. The purposes of the church are explained. At the end of the class, you are invited to join with us in our efforts to serve God and the body of Christ by becoming a member of our local church.
Second Base - Maturity - CLASS 201
Goal: To grow people with the skills they need for ministry. Class 201 is the next step on the road to spiritual maturity. The focus is on helping to lay the foundations of a growing relationship with the God by spending time with him in personal devotions. We teach the importance of setting time aside each day for reading the Bible, praying, worship and praise. We encourage you to establish the habit of giving to the work of the church and participating in fellowship with other believers.
Third Base - Ministry - CLASS 301
Goal: To equip people with the skills they need for ministry. Class 301 is a course designed to help you examine your life in a way that will reveal your unique makeup and how God intends to use you in a ministry that best expresses the way he made you. We believe God has given each believer gifts and abilities in serving him and others in the church family. We show you how your gifts, passions and personal style are blended in you and help you find possible ministry positions that will allow you to do the very thing that you’ll love most passionately in service to God and the body of Christ.
Fourth Base - Missions - CLASS 401
Goal: To enlist people to local evangelism and our worldwide mission of sharing Christ. Class 401 is designed to help you to learn how to share your faith with others and discover God’s mission for your life. You’ll become more aware of the many opportunities you have to talk to others about Jesus Christ and encourage you to become more involved in the active spreading the good news of what God has done for you.
