At Westosha Lakes Church, we orient all of our ministries around Jesus’ command to “make disciples” (Matthew 28:19). We do this by engaging those in our community who do not yet know Jesus, as well as helping those who do to live in obedience to all that he has commanded. The “Receive-Belong-Serve” information below highlights what we believe to be healthy steps towards spiritual growth.

GOAL: To become more like Jesus in your thoughts, emotions, and actions (Deuteronomy 6:5, 2 Corinthians 3:18) 

This happens by:

• Prioritizing weekly worship services in your life (Hebrews 10:24–25)
• Practicing spiritual disciplines on a daily basis (Acts 2:42)
• Actively seeking resources to grow in your understanding of God (Hosea 6:3; 2 Timothy 2:15)
