About The Church
Worship
Sunday services are held at 10:30 am throughout the church year from September to June both on-site and online. Coffee is served at the back of the sanctuary starting at 10:00am and there are coffee and cookies following the service. We share services with neighbouring churches during the summer. You are welcome to attend our services exactly as you are.
2SLGBTTIQ+ Affirming
If you are looking for a congregation that is gay friendly and LGBT inclusive, look no further!
Being affirming means that we are committed to being a safe space, striving to be fully inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We are constantly doing work to ensure that we are educated and a safer space.
Faith In Action
At Westdale we believe that our faith is best acted out through service to the community. We have been long time supporters a number of local organisations through our offerings.
Each month we serve a soup lunch and give out grocery gift cards to 100+ community members. We are always looking for volunteer soup-makers, servers and clean-up crew.
