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 he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
John 19v30

As a church the message of Christ crucified is always kept central and Easter was no exception, looking at different aspects of the finals days of Jesus life made communion on Easter Sunday particularly significant as we considered the love and sacrifice Jesus made for each and every one of us.

However, as a church we don’t just look back, but also forwards, and so as a church it’s important to encourage new ones in their ministry. It has been a great blessing to hear new ones preaching in their own styles and insights to the gospel message bringing fresh insights at both services and it has been a joy to see different ones growing in the Lord not just in preaching but in evangelism as well.

Midweek it was also great to restart the afternoon Bible study after many delays due to various ones being ill and in hospital. Although it’s a shorter meeting than the evening study it provides an important time of fellowship for those who can attend.

Finally the month ended with our Makers Club and a fellowship lunch at Callow End, although few in numbers for various reasons it was a great time of food and fellowship and just time to sit down and relax together reminded me of a verse from the Psalms.

How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
Psalm 133v1
