We would be delighted if we could get to know you, pray for you and if possible be of help to you. Why not get in touch with us? We can assure you that you'll get a very warm welcome. After all, you've got nothing to lose! You might like to visit 'Questions. If you do please come back to us with your questions or comments - who knows where it might lead. (To a fulfilling life and a home in heaven perhaps?) |
'JUST A THOUGHT' There are so many sides to church life. Just two weeks ago we were celebrating the fact that love makes the world go round and then, before we could catch our breath we were running round in circles with pancakes and frying pans.(See pictures on "Church Life" page). And now it's Fair Trade Fortnight, that time of the year when we are reminded of the power of the consumer and the disturbing truth that our choices make or break another person's livelihood. (See the information on "Church Links" page or visit http://www.fairtrade.org.uk. What will you swap this week? After all Jesus tells us very clealry that when we're caring for the poor we're caring for Him. Read Matthew 25:31-46  |

'The Team' RobJames and and his wife Mo count it a privilege to serve at Westgate alongside elders Dave, Simon and Stan. They long to see people discovering the rich and fulfilling life that Jesus offers anyone who trusts in Him. Rob has been a Baptist Pastor for thirty years and is married with four sons, three daughters-in-law and two grandchildren, one in Kingston the other in Yokohama which makes baby-sitting an real adventure! Rob is Chair of the Evangelical Alliance Executive (Wales) and a member of the EAUK National Council. Rob loves writing and teaching, but he finds huge fulfillment too in encouraging others to use their God-given gifts. Mo loves working with young children and their parents. Rob wants Christians to let the Scriptures to shape their lives, and in common with Philip Yancey believes that God's truth should be shaped by His grace. He says "Jesus should be good news for those who have messed up". |
SORRY We are currently working on our new website and some menu links may only have a title or even the wrong content! We hope you will bear with us - thankfully God does. We hope to complete this as soon as possible. |

A CHURCH FOR EVERYONE It has been rightly said that GOD'S WORK DONE IN GOD'S WAY WILL NEVER LACK GOD'S RESOURCES. WESTGATE IS LIVING PROOF OF THAT.The church's very existence is proof that God meets the needs of the people who want to do His work. I hope that is enough of a teaser to get you asking how,and why. We'd love to tell you more. The church at Westgate has maintained a Christian witness in Pembroke since the early 19th century, but things changed dramatically in June 2006 when it was reconstituted as an Independent Evangelical Church. |
