Westcity Church

Love God | Love People | Follow Jesus

WE ARE A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL ABOUT JESUS

(Well, what did you expect from a church?)

We are old people and young, artists, people with disabilities, lawyers and plumbers, activists and accountants who have been captured by, and caught up in God’s Dream for the world and God’s purpose for our lives, that we see revealed in Jesus.

Maybe we are a church for those who don’t like ‘church’. A church for those who don’t want to play religious games or be entertained but on a good day, desire to live the love that God has shown us. HERE you can find out more on our vision, pilgrimage together, values, beliefs, practices and team. Also listen to our podcast The Westcity Way (episode 442, for the message given by Kelley Chisholm on Feb 4, 2024). This is a great summary on who we are as a church and what we are about – The Way of Grace.

CHURCH COMMUNITY CALENDAR 2024

As a church we want to live out the ‘welcome’ and ‘go’ of Christ. We love gathering on a Sunday but we see our discipleship journey together as something so much more. It’s also the spaces in between each Sunday where we get to live out our faith in Jesus with each other.

You are so welcome to check out our 2024 Community Calander HERE and join us. For all the details of the weekly happenings, we encourage you to sign up (at the bottom of this page) to receive our church email updates. Visit our CONNECT page, for more information.

WELCOME TO WESTCITY DINNER

For those who are new to Westcity church, or those who have recently joined our community and would like to learn more about Westcity. Meet some of the team. Share how Westcity functions, what we value, what we’re up to, the next steps of connection, if and when your ready.

Grace produces gratitude and gratitude gives gladly.

SUNDAY SERVICE

10am @ 63 Nanson St Wembley, Perth, Western Australia

Our desire as the Westcity community is to find God’s story in our stories and our stories in God’s story. Each week, we explore scripture so that it might capture our imaginations that we would be open to the Holy Spirit’s transforming work and be equipped to live God’s love.

Everyone is welcome and if you are unable to join us in person, you can listen to any of our Sunday sermons, via PODCAST on any of these platforms Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music Podcasts.

CURRENT SERMON SERIES

"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion."
Psalm 133:1

Too much has been written about the Sermon. I’m sure Jesus is still wondering how we have comprehensively turned it inside out to find the truth in the words, while he was wanting to turn lives upside down. To use the metaphor in Psalm 133, Jesus was pouring precious oil and life-giving dew from the Spirit into the lives of all who would listen. It is avowedly non-transactional.

The words of the sermon are to be poured on to the head of the listener and the listener is to look up and let the oil soak through to the very marrow of life.

It is personal and spiritual and drenching.

Meditate on the Mount

We focus on the Sermon at this time every year. This year we pray for Westcity to let personal stories emerge from meditation, to create spaces of spiritual experience and change.

We encourage you to read Matthew chapters 5-7 quietly and deeply. Notice the verses that stand out to you. Read those verses out loud several times, slowly. Thank the Spirit for focusing your attention.

Choose the verses that resonates deeply. Let that become a “mini theme” for you within the Sermon on Mount. A life message for you. The one closest to your heart. Think about your story emerging from the Sermon and share it with a friend.

Resources for Reflection

Here is a couple of books you might like to read as an extra resource, during our current sermon series Messages from the Mount.

Philip Sheldrake’s Spirituality: A Very Short Introduction

A terrific backdrop for a series that is focusing on diverse spiritual content. It explores the historical foundations of spirituality and considers how it came to have the significance it is developing today.

Cloud & Townsend’s How People Grow

Examines what it takes to experience increasing strength and depth in our spiritual walk, our marriages and family lives and friendships, our personal development–in everything life is about? It helps you understand the Bible in a way that will help you head with confidence down the high road of growth in Christ.

CHILDREN’S CHURCH

10am Children’s Program at Nanson Street

Godly Play is a great opportunity for children of all ages to listen, wonder and respond. We listen to the story, stop and wonder about the questions, then respond by doing our own work or play – each child can do their work differently.

SUNDAY YOUTH

10am Youth Program at Nanson Street

Sunday Youth (for high school age) happens during our weekend church service. It focuses on a facilitated discussion with a member of the teaching team or a specially selected church community member, around our church theology and how it relates to youth and culture. And we have fun!
