Westside Bible Fellowship

New Care Groups Launch Brand-new Care Groups will launch in September! These small home fellowship groups will gather in different locations on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The first meetings will be on Tuesday, September 21 and Wednesday, September 22. A Spanish language group will meet on Sunday evenings. Care Groups are one of the core ministries of Westside because they provide unique opportunities to build close relationships and learn to minister in ways that are difficult in a larger group setting. They provide an important way for Westsiders to get to know and care for one another and to study God's Word and pray together.

Current Teaching Series: "Trusting God" The current teaching series in our Sunday morning Family Bible Hour is focused on learning to recognize specific areas in our lives where we need to trust God more and then trusting Him to change us so we take on biblical attitudes. This subject of trusting God can be easily relegated to the theoretical, spiritual compartment of our lives. But these areas are battleground issues in virtually every Christian’s life. It is helpful to see what the Bible has to say about the blessing, difficulty and necessity of trusting God with these concerns that are so important to each of us.

They had driven to the province, left their vehicles and hiked for hours with pack horses over mountainous terrain to reach the villages. They were shot as they were returning to Kabul. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killings.

As a result, we've identified of a set of core values -- the things that are really, really important to us as a local church. These core values are our biggest priorities and identify where we’re going as a church. We express these core values in the following statement:

Welcome to Westside

BuildingExterior_4 Westside Bible Fellowship is made up of ordinary folks who believe that Jesus Christ is the only all-sufficient Savior.

We're "Westside" because we meet west of Portland, Oregon in the Washington County town of Hillsboro.

"Bible" is our middle name. That's because we believe the Bible is relevant and authoritative for every situation we may face in this life and the life to come.

We're a "fellowship" because personal relationships are important to us, and we're learning to encourage and serve one another.

We're a work in progress. We're learning to love and follow Christ and share Him with others. We invite you to come learn with us.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a Christ-centered, Biblically-based community of believers who are passionate about loving and worshipping Jesus Christ, loving and serving each other, living holy lives and reaching the world with the good news of the Gospel and doing all in humble dependence on Christ.

Where We're Located
