Grow

Deepen your Discipleship to Jesus

The aim of our lives is to be formed into the image of Jesus—to become people of love. 

Take your next step on that journey—participating with God as He cultivates the fruit of his Spirit in you, immersing yourself in prayer and Scripture, spiritual practices, participation in lectures, courses, conferences, mentoring, spiritual direction, and/or counseling designed to help you do vitally important interior work.

Course

Tuesdays, 6:30–8:30 PM
June 23 – August 11

Join us for The Marriage Course, seven sessions created by Alpha to help couples strengthen and invest in their relationship.

Each gathering includes time to learn together and space for private conversation as a couple.

Topics include communication, conflict, forgiveness, family impact, intimacy, and love in action.

How Scripture forms us

Thursdays, 6:30–8:30 PM
July 16 - August 13

We invite you to slow down and experience Scripture differently, not just for information, but as meditation literature meant to be read slowly, reflected on, and lived out.

Together, we’ll explore meditation as a form of study, learning simple, practical tools to read the Bible more attentively and openly.

Our hope is that Scripture won’t just inform you, but shape your life. If you’re looking to grow in how you read the Bible and create space to hear from God, join us.

alpha

If you are in crisis, or on a spiritual quest, Alpha is a safe space to explore questions about life, faith, and meaning with others.

Women’s Bible study

All women are invited to join us as we study Scripture together in community. Choose from one of two studies:
1 Corinthians – Paul’s call to a Christ-centered life. In Christ Alone – Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians.

Lectures

Spiritual gifts lecture

Wednesday, 7:00–9:00 PM
August 5
Saratoga

In this interactive lecture, we’ll explore what Scripture says about spiritual gifts and how they build up the Church. We’ll learn, ask questions, and grow in understanding.

You’ll also have space to reflect and begin discerning your own gifts through discussion, Q&A, and prayer, recognizing how God is already at work in you.

Whether you’re new or have been exploring this for a while, come ready to learn, engage, and take your next step.

Care + Counseling

At WestGate Church, we’re committed to surrounding people that are hurting and in need of care. We also recognize that life’s struggles demand more than a “one size fits all” solution and seek to cater our care to your individual needs. Learn more about WestGate’s Care Ministry by following the link below.

  • Our support groups are for people with common experiences or concerns who provide each other with encouragement, comfort, and advice. We have a variety of groups for you to explore.

  • Life’s struggles demand more than a “one size fits all” solution and we seek to cater our care to your individual needs. Along with our partnership with the Christian Counseling Center, our pastoral staff and volunteers provide personalized care, support, encouragement, and referrals for people who are hurting, who have questions, or who are just going through a rough patch.

  • Mentorship provides an honest, intimate, and safe, short-term space where intentional and meaningful conversations take place, to help us grow in desired areas of our lives.

  • Here at WestGate, we care deeply about the well-being of your spiritual life. To that end, we are so excited to offer this opportunity called Spiritual Direction. Once a month, spend one hour with someone who is trained to listen with the Holy Spirit on your behalf.
