Westwinds

Westwinds CHURCH FOR ANYONE. We gather every Sunday at 10am for July and August. Westwinds is here to shadow God, build the church, and heal the world.
(302)

Shadowing God reminds us that we must stay in step with God's plan for us as individuals. We are never fully formed; we are always works-in-progress. That work progresses only by staying in step with the Spirit and being constantly malleable and edited by God. Building the church means we recognize that Christian spirituality is not an individual sport. Church is plural, and God's purposes for rec

onciliation involve us sorting out our relationships with the people around us. Healing the world connotes the fact that our salvation is neither privatized or communized, but expressed most faithfully in mission. We invite the Spirit to change us and to create a holy community of similarly simultaneously changing people, so that together we can effect change in the world.

One service this Sunday: Fall Reset @ 10am

Summer Church has ended, but we’re keeping the same service time for one more week—this time inside.

Join us Sunday, September 6, at 10am for **Fall Reset: One Service, Three Important Questions.**

Through music, reflection, prayer, and thoughts from people in our community, we’ll pause, pay attention, and consider what Jesus may be inviting us into this fall.

There will also be one more chance to “Stick Around and Find Out,” so plan to stay after the service and connect with others in our community.

What a great way to end our Summer Church season! It's been such a great summer (even though we've been stuck inside a lot). This season was marked by many great moments of connection and community. Baptism is one of the great markers of connection as we celebrate these moments as a community. Let's celebrate with those who were baptized today!

Anyone is welcome.

That's easy to say.

But what happens when welcoming someone begins to challenge the categories, assumptions, and hierarchies we've built our lives around?

That's the tension at the heart of Paul's little letter to Philemon.

Paul doesn't simply ask Philemon to allow Onesimus back into the community. He asks him to see this man—once enslaved in his household—as a dearly loved brother.

Because a Jesus-centered community is called to something deeper than “You can be here.”

We're learning to say, “I see you as the same as me.”

This week, we explored Philemon, vulnerability, belonging, and the radical welcome of the Kingdom of God

Everything around us tells us the same story:
Protect yourself.
Look out for yourself.
Put yourself first.
Jesus tells a different story.
This week, we explored Paul's letter to the Philippians and discovered that at the very center of the Christian life is a Savior who chose humility over power and self-giving love over self-preservation.
It's an upside-down way of living.
And it just might be the way the world needs most.

What if you tattooed 'God is love' not on your skin, but on your heart, mind, and soul? When God's love becomes imprinted on your spirit, it overflows into everything you do.

You don't need to earn anything from God. God is inviting you to live out the evidence of what he's doing among you.

What can actually hold your life together?
It's easy to build our lives on certainty, success, opinions, or even having all the right beliefs. But Jesus asked a different question: What kind of foundation will still be standing when the storms come?
This week, we explored the apostle John's powerful declaration that "God is love." More than a comforting phrase, it's the foundation for how we're invited to understand God, read Scripture, and love the people around us.
Because the strongest foundation isn't found in having all the right answers.
It's found in learning to build your life on the love of God.

Spiritual practices aren't just rituals — they're training us to see God in the rain, in a handshake, in the faces around us. He's here. Right now.

What kind of church does our world actually need?
Not just people who know the right answers.
Not just people who follow the rules.
But people whose lives are marked by grace, integrity, generosity, humility, and love.
This week, we explored the book of Titus and discovered that Paul's vision for the church was never simply about behavior. It was about becoming the kind of community that makes the way of Jesus beautiful.
