Message
Reading and examining the Bible under the guidance of the preacher.
“Love's Overflow”
BIBLE READING: John 20:19-21 (NIV)
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

Welcome to Community West Church!
Dear Friends,
We believe the church is a special community of people joined by their hope in Jesus Christ. We know this hope has not always been apparent to those who have been hurt by church, or for whom church seems unnecessary or irrelevant. However, we believe everybody needs a community to which to belong, and we hope you will find our community a trusted context to continue your spiritual journey.
Protecting Our Children and Youth:
To ensure a safe and secure environment for our children and youth, Community West Church requires adult volunteers who wish to serve these populations must participate in the church for a minimum of six months, pass a “Proud to Protect” online course in recognizing and reporting child abuse, and pass a background check. Youth volunteers who serve our children are required to take a certification training facilitated by the Director of Family Ministries. A complete copy of our Child Protection Plan is available upon request.
CELEBRATE - Commit to our weekly Sunday Gathering.
Our Sunday service is a time for us to be reminded of God’s love and forgiveness, and to respond with our worship, obedience, and trust. we intend our service to be uplifting, hones, participatory, multi-sensory, biblically-based, and gospel-centered.
CONNECT - Commit to a Home Group.
Smaller groups are where the best of life happens at Community West. All small groups are built on three pillars: growing in God’s word, developing authentic friendships, and serving and getting involved in outreach.
CONTRIBUTE - Join a Sunday team and give financially.
None of us begins to belong to a community until we have a chance to share what we have to give. We invite you to share your time, by serving on a Sunday team, and your gifts by giving financially to the mission of the church.
