About Us
Westward Ho! Baptist Church is a growing, loving and supportive multi-generational Christian community where everyone is welcomed. Worship and ministry are Christ-centred, Biblically based, mission oriented and relevant to today. This reflects the unique life giving, life changing and personal impact of Jesus' death and resurrection and the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit. Sung worship, led by our own groups, includes contemporary songs and classic hymns. Our children and young people enjoy playing, worshipping and learning together. The weekly toddler group and mid-week meetings, also the monthly breakfasts, are very popular. Home groups are located throughout the area. Our vision is summed up in our motto - Loving Jesus, Sharing Life, Bringing Hope. We look forward to meeting you!
