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.

'Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the Lord.'
Leviticus 19v32

As a church we have always had an afternoon Bible study for those who struggle to get out in the evening. It’s been useful for those who have children to look after in the evening but also for those who are getting along in years and struggle to get out later in the day.

For those who struggle to get out, the Bible study is also an important social event, keeping them in contact with their friends within the church.

This month we arrived at a situation where one of the ladies who attends these meetings finally had to move into a nursing home. As it was now impossible to get her to the Bible study the answer was simple, we moved the Bible study to the nursing home. It’s meant a change in time and routine, but it’s worth it to enable those who are older and less able to continue to be able to be part of the church just as they have been in their younger years.

Just as it’s important to care for the older generation it is also a blessing to see the next generation growing in their ministries. For me as a Pastor it’s a particular joy to have younger believers growing in their ministry and learning to preach and teach within the church. Watching them take a step of faith is always exciting and something that brings joy to my heart.

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
1 Timothy 1v6-7
