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.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1v2-4

When we have a problem in life we usually want it over with as soon as possible. Persevering through tough times is hard and having joy through those times is not something that naturally comes to mind and yet it is in those tough times that we often find ourselves drawing closer to God.

Over the last month a few members of the church have been very ill and it certainly has been a time of perseverance, whether at home or in hospital being forced to stop the daily routine can be a good thing. It allows us to take some time to consider the future, to consider what is really important to us in life.

When we can’t do things for ourselves there also has to be a trust that the Lord will provide, that He is able to fulfil the tasks that we can no longer do.
The Bible says:

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46v10

For those of us who have been ill the Lord has forced the “stillness”, but in that stillness has come a testimony of the Lords ability to make a way and for His name to be exalted in our lives.
