Grow
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 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.
