Welcome to West Side Fellowship

The West Side Fellowship is a small church planted in the St Johns area of Worcester in March 2012 with an evening service started in Upper Welland in 2021.

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures.
1 Corinthians 15v3-4

From the beginning our goal as a church was to be focused on the message of Christ crucified. Our forgiveness, salvation and access to the Father are only possible through the complete work of Christ on the cross. As such our goal is to bring glory to God in thankfullness for what he has done for us through Christ. The core focus of our teaching is on seeking the Lord, listening to what God has to say to us, so that we may walk in obedience to his ways.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6v33

Putting the Kingdom of God first is a key part of the focus of the church with the goal to have the same devotion to the Lord as we see in the early church. As such, church life centres around teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer (Acts 2v42), that as a church we would grow in maturity and bring glory to the name of Jesus.

Our vision is to see each member finding their place in the body of Christ and allowing their ministry to be developed.

As well as a desire to see people come to a knowledge of Christ locally we also have a world vision with members actively involved in ministry in Poland as well as supporting the needs of Christians in other countries.

If you would like to join us or want more information please feel free to get in touch.

When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior."
Judges 6v12

Throughout the month we looked at the life of Gideon, and especially God’s calling for him to be a mighty warrior. Not because he was big and strong or from the biggest family or tribe, it was the complete opposite. God wanted to show him that with His help, he could overcome any enemy or trial that was put before him.

It was fascinating to see Gideon having to deal with the same fears and issues we still face today and the process the Lord took him through, until he finally had victory. This shows how the Lord can use each one of us if only we will let him.

August is often a difficult month for small churches with people on holiday. In some ways it can feel as if the church is weaker as those who normally do things are away, and yet it is often a month when God moves as others take on roles that they would not normally do. It gave time for the lessons of Gideon to be proved in peoples lives, taking a step of faith and trusting the Lord in the unknown, allowing us to grow in the knowledge and experience of working with the Father, and at the end, having the testimony of having seen the Lord work in our lives, knowing that with His leading any one of us can be a "Mighty Warrior".
