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.

"Who despises the day of small things?
Zechariah 4v10

Summer is always an interesting time in small churches as with different ones away it can mean only a handful meeting together at times.

It’s easy to look down on these small meeting and ask if it’s worth the effort. Yet we worship a God who loves to use the small and weak to confound the large and mighty and so despite often having a reduction in numbers the Lord has blessed us through this time both during the Sunday services and the midweek meetings.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Romans 12v15

As a small church the sense of family tends to increase and over these last few weeks this verse has very much been part of the Fellowship as first we celebrated a wedding but only a few weeks later we joined in mourning for the loss of a Mother.

It is through these times, good and bad that the church learns to constantly pray and support each other. Through the good times and the sad times and through sharing in these events, the family bonds grow stronger.

So we look forward to all being together again, but we praise the Lord for all he has done over these past few weeks. For as the Bible says:

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4v4-6
