What to Expect at Western Avenue

At Western Avenue, we strive to keep things very simple. It’s relaxed but focused. We don’t need to be flashy or put on big productions for people to meet God. We believe that Jesus is enough. Here’s what you can expect during a typical worship gathering:

​

Singing
During the service, our worship team will lead us in a number of songs. We strive to balance new music with some of the great hymns of our faith. As we sing our focus is not on ourselves or the people around us, but lifting high the name of Jesus. So no matter what kind of voice you have, sing out with all of your heart.

​

Catechism & Confessions

We believe that catechisms and confessions are a great way to help us understand Biblical truths. Each Sunday, we will look at questions from Benjamin Keach's Catechism or areas of the Second London Baptist Confession.

​

Teaching
We believe that the Bible is God’s gift to us to show us who He is and what He’s done for us. We teach straight from the Bible, and look to show what God has said in His word and how that should impact our lives. If you don’t have a copy of the Bible with you, we have copies in each pew – feel free to use one of ours. If you don’t own your own Bible, please take one of ours home as our gift to you.

​

Prayer
One of the greatest privileges we have as followers of Jesus is being able to pray with boldness and confidence. We’ll pray together throughout our time, and if you would like to have someone pray for you, our elders would love the opportunity to do so.

​

Giving
If you are our guest, please do not feel obligated to give anything financially. Your presence with us is gift enough. If you do wish to contribute financially, there is an offering plate at the back of sanctuary as you leave.
