All Church Gathering

Join us for the All Gathering on the First Sunday of the month at Westside Church at 4:30 PM. The practice of presence is a primary way Jesus' communities have shaped and influenced one another. Every First Sunday, we gather with the expectation of transformation through the simplicity of smiles on faces, the taking of the Bread & Cup, singing together, hearing the Scriptures taught, and praying for one another... all done under the banner of Jesus' unending love!

There is Kid’s Church for infant-1st grade. 2nd Grade and up, join us in the All Gathering.

After the gathering, we will have tacos catered on-site to enjoy more time to linger and hang with one another ($5 per person, max $20 a family to help cover cost).

Songs & Stories New Years Eve Gathering

Songs & Stories New Years Eve Gathering

We’re doing something special for the last Sunday gathering of the year! On New Year's Eve, December 31, we are doing Songs & Stories at 10:00 AM at The Collective Venue on 19th Street.

All House Churches are coming together to share a meal, so please bring a brunch item to share. We will have a time of eating, singing, and sharing what God has been doing amongst us as a community. Feel free to pray through and contribute in any way —whether it's a song, baking, artwork, Scripture insight, or testimony. Don't feel pressured; everyone's contributions are valued as we grow together in this space.

Hope to see you there!

Longest Night | A Liturgy of Lament
Dec
21

Longest Night | A Liturgy of Lament

December 21st is the longest night of the year, and we will gather together and spend the evening practicing a liturgy of lament. 

Lament is the biblical practice of taking our hurt and pain to God while simultaneously declaring our trust in him. Jesus welcomes our grief and is acquainted with it. 

We want to acknowledge the dark and broken places in our world and our lives, and it feels appropriate to name our hurt and pain together in the community. The evening will be simple as we take time to pray, read scripture, sing, and look toward our promised hope in Jesus.

___________________________________________________________

December 21st from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM at the Othart Home

617 Purdy Ct. Bakersfield, CA 93309

No kid care is available, so we ask that you make other arrangements for children.

***We will spend a portion of the evening around the firepit outside, so dress warm.

We hope to see you there! 

Matthew 5v4

“Blessed are those who mourn,  for they will be comforted.”

Advent All Church Gatherings
Dec

to Jan 7

Advent All Church Gatherings

In Advent, the church stands between two proclamations - “God has come” and “Come, Lord Jesus!” The first proclamation anchors our confidence that the second will be answered. God dwells among us! The way of Jesus - his life, death, and resurrection shape and form our hope that he will return, reign, and make all things new.

For Advent 2023, all house churches will gather at Westside Church on Sunday evening at 4:30 PM to worship together. We look forward to celebrating the season together.

Here are the upcoming dates and times.

Sunday, December 3rd

Sunday, December 10th

Sunday, December 17th

Christmas Eve Sunday, December 24th (3:30 Gathering)

SEEK NIGHT
Oct
19

SEEK NIGHT

Seek Night is an intentional opportunity for us to gather as a church family and spend time praying and worshiping God. Prayer is to the Christian life as breathing is to everyday life. We believe that seeking God in prayer and worship is central to being followers of Jesus. We will gather to pray, sing, prophesy, and call on the name of the Lord.

There will be Kid Care for this Seek Night in October for kids infant-sixth grade.
