Deepen your Discipleship to Jesus

The aim of our lives is to be formed into the image of Jesus—to become people of love. 

Take your next step on that journey—participating with God as He cultivates the fruit of his Spirit in you, immersing yourself in prayer and Scripture, spiritual practices, participation in lectures, courses, conferences, mentoring, spiritual direction, and/or counseling designed to help you do vitally important interior work.

Worship and Prayer Night

In this season of renewal, our church will be gathering together to lean into what God is doing in Silicon Valley and in our lives. Through music, prayer, and simple practices, these nights are intended to disrupt the frenzy of our over-scheduled lives with a sort of spiritual spaciousness we so often lack but so desperately desire.

start here

Start Here is a two-week course that will give you what you need to dive deeper into the life of our church family—whether you’re considering calling WestGate your home, looking for practical ways to connect with others, wondering how to become a member of our church family, or just curious.

Women’s Bible study

This course is for all women, regardless of where you are in your spiritual inquiry, journey, or growth.

Join us this year as we study God’s mission to bless all peoples on earth - Paul’s Second Missionary Journey: the places he went, the people he met, the letters he wrote.

We study the Bible without written questions and teach you how to do it in three simple steps. The format includes home study, your small group discussion, and prayer, followed by a wrap-up where all our Thursday AM groups gather for coffee, treats, and teaching.

Along with our partnership with the Christian Counseling Center, our pastoral staff and volunteers provide personalized care, support, encouragement, and referrals for people who are hurting, who have questions, or who are just going through a rough patch.

  • Mentorship provides an honest, intimate, and safe, short-term space where intentional and meaningful conversations take place, to help us grow in desired areas of our lives.

  • Here at WestGate, we care deeply about the well-being of your spiritual life. To that end, we are so excited to offer this opportunity called Spiritual Direction. Once a month, spend one hour with someone who is trained to listen with the Holy Spirit on your behalf.
