WestGate Church Care Ministries
As a body of believers we are committed to surrounding people that are hurting and in need of care. We also recognize that lifes struggles demand more than a one size fits all solution. Our community groups provide a way to deepen relationships, allowing a forum for authenticity and care between group members. For those not in groups, or those whose needs require additional attention, we have pastoral staff and lay people that can help provide support, encouragement, and referrals.
We also encourage you to consider your life experience as a training ground to serve those with present needs. When we use the gifts that God has given us to serve others we model the love of Christ to one another and mankind.
