Our Position
Westside Baptist Church is decidedly an…
Independant
Not part of any convention, or national organization. We are not sympathetic, nor do we support the National Council of Churches, the World Council of Churches, Ecumenical Evangelism, Liberalism or Modernism. We are not Emerging nor are we Purpose Driven.
Fundamental
Believe the entire Bible literally, which will cause you to love people and live like Jesus Christ lived.
Bible-Believing
The King James Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant preserved Word of God for the English speaking people.
Non-Charismatic
Do not believe in nor practice the modern signs and wonders teachings.
Conservative
in Music
Our music program is centred around songs, hymns, and spiritual songs, avoiding even the slightest trends toward the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) movement
of our day.
