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.

The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life - only to take it up again.
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."
John 10v17-18

Over the last month in the morning service we have looked at some of the attributes of God including the voluntary nature of the sacrifice of Christ crucified.

It was a sacrifice that was freely given rather than something that was taken and shows the great depths of Gods love towards each one of us, even when we have not shown love towards Him.

At the same time in the evenings we have just started a new series on the book of Judges seeing what we can learn form the lives of others who interacted with God. It is always amazing to see how the hearts of men don’t change and how we continue to make the same mistakes made all those years ago.

As always we finished the month with our Makers Hobby Club, this time at Welland Village Hall. It’s fascinating to see the skills and abilities that others have and to learn from each other. It’s also great to welcome visitors and to learn from them as well.

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