A great church home

Welcome to Westlakes Baptist Church – not so much to a building, but to a family. After all, isn’t that what a home is all about? Not perfect people, but forgiven ones with a love for God and for each other. Come along and discover what it’s like to be loved and pass that on to others around you.

About

Baptist churches are distinct as a group.

Each one of them is also distinct from the others.

As a local church we are free to take our understanding of the Scriptures and mold our ministry into that pattern. We have sought to do that, not to simply mimic other churches around us.

Our vision

To be a God glorifying Church where we love Him and others.

Our mission

To go and make disciples who go on to become disciple makers. Matt. 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:46-48. Acts 1:8

How do we do this?

By bringing people to Christ, building them up in Christ and sending them out for Christ as disciple makers. Mark 3:13-14

Ministries

God never intended for you to “go it alone.”

He has invited you to be a part of His family, and we hope that you have accepted that invitation. If you haven’t done so yet, then asks us about it. You will be glad you did!

As a family we do things for each other and with each other. Happiness from the heart and fulfilment in life is best found in a place of mutual care and respect.

We have not yet “arrived,” but together we are working towards that goal.

Scroll down through the sections below that describe the ministries of our church. You will find that there is a place for you!

Sunday Church Service

Our family friendly church service begins with: Prayer 9:00am, Coffee Meet & Greet 9:30am, Worship Service 10:00am.

The service has a informal style with a variety of contemporary choruses and classic hymns. A worship team including a contemporary band with a moderate sound leads the worship.

Preaching of the Word of God is the highlight of the service. You can expect the Bible to be unfolded before you, made understandable and practical.

Childrens Ministry

Children & Teen’s Ministry

Along with a creche, Kid’s 4 Jesus Sunday School, a Children’s Church program is provided for them in the fellowship hall downstairs during the service. We also have a special kid’s program for children school years 1 and above who meet on Friday’s from 5pm-7pm which is our community outreach. It’s an exciting time with singing, stories, relevant Bible teaching and purposeful games. We adhere to the Child Protection Policy.

Children’s Safety

The safety of your children is of utmost importance. We have a very detailed and carefully thought-out Child Protection Policy. Click here to see it for yourself. All of our children’s workers must have an NSW ‘Working with Children’ check conducted, have a registration number and abide by our safety policies.

Discipleship Groups

We meet once a month to grow together with other Godly men and women in the scriptures and develop meaningful personal discipling relationships.

Everyone is welcome, including those who simply would like to know more about what Christianity is all about.

Ladies Ministries

Westlakes women meet for the ladies Bible study and S.O.A.P. fortnightly in homes. A few of the mum’s also meet together for encouragement, support and fellowship. From time to time the ladies organize special events for outreach and growth. The ladies love to study the Bible and gain practical insight that will help them in their daily living.

Men’s Group

Westlakes men meet on Tuesday nights for prayer, study God’s Word and disciple each other. On an informal basis it’s common for men from the church to get together for soccer, fishing and other activities.

Young Adults

Young adults are not the future of Westlakes, they are a vital part of the present. Our young adults are involved in ministry, but they also love to get together to learn, grow and enjoy each other’s company.

Transformed Youth

Our youth ministry is in a time of transition. In the past we have had teen ministry meetings on Friday nights. We are praying to the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into that harvest, and that especially involves ministry to teens. It’s such a vital time of life, and our young people have great potential.

Special Events

From time to time we organise a special event such as a night of worship, a music ‘jam session’ or our Family Camp.
