People who recognize Christianity is not just for themselves but the world around them. Regular, everyday people who share the gospel in the language and culture of the people – incarnating the love of Jesus to the surrounding world. A group of ordinary people committed to releasing the love of God and the transforming power of the Gospel into a sin-darkened world.

We envision a sin-darkened world transformed by the love of God and the power of the Gospel working thru these ordinary people. A world in which great numbers of people repent of sin and walk in faith. A world where the poor and afflicted receive care; and strongholds of poverty, crime, injustice and violence diminish. A world where marriages, families, and children heal and thrive.

We envision ordinary people going into a sin darkened world… bending their knee to God in Lordship…and expanding the kingdom of God one heart at a time.

West Side Christian Church

West Side Christian Church is located in Springfield, Illinois, USA. They state :- ” West Side is non-denominational, meaning our only human leaders are our local Elder Team and Staff. We affiliate with other Independent Christian Churches, a loosely-connected group of nearly 6000 congregations in the United States. These churches emerged in the 1800s as part of the Restoration Movement, a unity movement that exploded with growth by inviting believers to rally around the simple, clear teachings of the New Testament, rather than dividing over secondary, denominational differences.  One of the slogans of those early Christian Church leaders was:  We are not the only Christians, but Christians only. Another was:  In essentials, unity; in opinions, liberty; but in all things, love! To those ideas, we continue to say, “Yes!”

West Side continues to value unity, not by blending the teachings of various denominations, but by humbly looking to the New Testament as the pattern for our own practice and teaching. Our members do not vote, lobby, or divide into camps. Instead, our leadership team follows the Bible as closely as our limited understanding allows, prays for wisdom in all things, and leads West Side forward. “

During the week, we are the Church — on the go in our communities, workplaces and schools. Wherever we are, we are helping people take their next step toward Christ…together.

We’re a church with many expressions.  We’re hipsters and adrenaline junkies, accountants and artists, conservatives and liberals. Regardless of the labels we apply to ourselves and others apply to us, we want you to know you’re loved by Christ. He provides us with our true identity and the only identity we’ll ever need.

Point your feet in God’s direction, take a step, and see what happens. But don’t go at it alone. We weren’t made for that. Join with people who will walk with you and pick you up when you stumble or fall.

We are GatheringPoint Church of the Nazarene.

Helping people take their next step toward Christ…together. “
