The first part of our mission statement (On a journey with the living Christ) is the former vision statement of the church. This statement encompasses the past and the present and will serve as a guiding principle for the future of West Hills Church. The statement reminds all of us that our relationship with Jesus is a journey of faith throughout our lives. No matter where we find ourselves on this journey, we seek to treat one another with grace.
The second part of the mission statement is a discipleship plan or path because each phrase is meant to convey action and steps on our journey. The phrase “connecting with God,” is meant to delineate the centrality and the importance of both private and corporate worship in our lives. Christ centered, Biblically focused and joyful worship has always been a core value at West Hills and this phrase is meant to cement that core value. The phrase also means that we recognize and place a high value on our worship service, not only for our members and friends, but also for people who are searching for the truth in Jesus Christ.
