In 2004, the leadership of WestGate Church asked the question, “If our church burned down today, would anyone in our community care?” The answer at the time was a definitive “no.” This sobering realization led WestGate to a significant recommitment, to embody the call to “love our neighbors” in tangible ways. Beautiful Day is one of the primary expressions of this call. In the years since, more than 85,000 volunteer hours and over 1M dollars have been given toward the completion of more than 150 projects throughout Silicon Valley and beyond.

Jesus’ invitation to “love your neighbor as yourself” is a core teaching of the Christian faith. We believe that love is more than a feeling; we believe that love is active participation in willing and working toward the good of others. We exist to love our neighbors and seek the common good.

We mobilize to meet needs.

We mobilize people and resources throughout Silicon Valley and beyond, to best meet the tangible needs of our community. Sometimes this looks like painting, digging, building, repairing, cleaning, and sometimes even just making a nice meal.
