OUR GOAL IS TO BE PEOPLE TRANSFORMED BY JESUS EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO ENGAGE THE WORLD AROUND US
The Gospel According to John
Someone once said about the Gospel of John, that it is shallow enough for a baby to swim in and deep enough for an elephant to dive in. This means John’s gospel is accessible for everyone at any stage of their walk with God. As an eyewitness to the life, miracles, conversations, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus; the Gospel of John will bring to life more clearly who Jesus is, God’s plan for everyone who is a follower of Jesus and deepen our devotion to the Way, the Truth and the Life.
The Latest
Are you new to Westwood? We would love to meet you immediately following either the 9am or 10:30am service. You’ll meet some of Westwood’s staff, pastors and overseers. This 30 minute (or less, we promise!) gathering will be hosted in Room 252 (2nd floor on the north end of the building).
Join us every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month all summer long for our youth bonfires! Yard games, campfire worship, hot dogs & more! Upcoming 6th graders through graduated seniors are welcome!
Raising kids is an incredible (and tough) job, and we’re here to support you! One way is through Parent/Child Dedication. It’s a time where you commit to raising your kids to know God and model what following Jesus looks like. We’ll be by your side, ready to cheer you on and resource you as you continue the journey. If you’re interested in dedicating your child, you’ll need to attend our 60-minute Parent/Child Dedication workshop, which take place 1 week before the ceremony. It’s a great way to learn about dedication and prepare for the ceremony.

Connect This Week & Beyond
Discover & Equip Class
Want to get to know Westwood and discover how you can make it stronger? Whether you’ve been here for a week or twenty years, we believe our Discovery Classes will help you connect here!
During our combined Discover & Equip Class, we’ll share the story of our church, our values, doctrinal essentials and our mission, along with the distinctive characteristics that make our church such a good fit for the many people who call the St. Cloud area their home. We will help you better understand God’s plan for the local church, discover your spiritual gifts and identify ways, and maybe even places, God has designed you for service. At the end, we also provide an opportunity for you to take the next steps toward becoming formal members of Westwood.
Next Session: June 24th 7-9pm.
Membership
Being a member at Westwood allows you to vote for nominated officers, vote on important issues, and vote in other members. Westwood offers membership orientation classes called Discover and Equip. These classes are the first steps in the membership process. Read and register about Discover and Equip here. After you attend Discover and Equip, we will ask you to complete the membership application. This is just a get-to-know-you type of form! After you complete the form, we will briefly meet with you in-person. Then, the last step is for you to be voted in by other members at a congregational meeting.
