Hello there
 WELCOME TO WESTGATEWe hope you enjoy your visit to our website even though, like us, it's continually under construction. We are a group of ordinary people but we are convinced that God loves us passionately, so passionately in fact that He allowed His one and only Son to die for our sins. Even better He raised Him to life again and offers us the same hope! And all for free. We would love to get to know you,to pray for you and if possible be of help to you. Why not get in touch with us? You've got nothing to lose! If you'd like to get to know more about our God you could visit 'Questions- Why?'. If you do we'd be thrilled to hear from you. |
'JUST A THOUGHT' from the Pastor Well what can I say? Ihave just had one of the most amazing mission experiences of my life. I simply cannot thank God enough for John Mark Shillington, Cindy and Dan Snead and the team from Arizona who spent time with us last week. I have always been enriched by my links with Southern Baptists but this latest expression of their love and commitment was simply fantastic. I am so thankful to Day Yeary and the leadership team at North Phoenix Baptist Church for allowing them to visit us. They had genuine servant hearts and proved this in their willingness to do anything we asked. They had cultural sensitivity and displayed this in their willingness to learn more about Wales and its spiritual condition. And they were fun, fun fun! Click for photo. The Lord is blessing us in so many ways – new people, new initiatives and people asking for baptism because they want the world to know the love Jesus and are not ashamed to be known as one of his disciples. We’ll be at Freshwater East on Friday July 30th for baptism and then for the obligatory BBQ. Now who could ask for more? I wonder who’ll be there. Better still I wonder who will decide to be baptised as a result of it. Exciting days – but Jesus did promise us life to the full didn’t He? |

THE LEADERSHIP TEAM Rob James 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 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". |

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. |
