Come Be Part Of Our Family... Everyone is Welcome

Loving and learning the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as Our Lord and Savior.
We are handicapped accessible to both the sanctuary and basement levels.

Bible Study

We would also like to invite you to one of our Sunday School classes at 9:30 AM on Sunday mornings prior to morning worship. There are classes for ALL AGES! There are Bible studies for adults on Wednesday nights at Church and on FaceBook. See the calendar or call for more information!

Sermons

We do understand that not everyone can make every week's service. Many have plans or are not feeling well enough to attend. We post the entire service online each week so you can listen to the praise and the Pastor's message from the safety and convenience of your home at your convenience.

Events

We are a very busy fellowship of Christians. We have many different programs and events throughout the year that we would love you to be a part of. There are community service projects, mission outreach, and study and fellowship for all ages. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate.

Music

At the Westport Baptist Church we are very proud of our Choir, Orchestra, Praise group and much more! We encourage everyone, both children and adults to participate and worship the Lord. If you play an instrument our Orchestra may be perfect for you. There rae many ways to worship...music is one of them!

Sign-Up Station

Thanksgiving Dinner
The church is planning a dinner in November which will include meals for the community, in addition to the church fellowship. More details to come. Keep checking the bulletin.

*Offering plates are located at the sanctuary entrances. They will not be passed around. Please continue to send your tithes and offerings to PO Box 310, Westport, IN 47283 if you are not attending in person.

**Out of respect for personal privacy, the media team will be diverting the camera from the altar so that people may feel comfortable in coming forward for prayer or dedication during the time of invitation. These private moments will not be shared on social media.

We are trying to improve the process of keeping the prayer concerns up to date. Current names will be removed after six weeks in the bulletin. Please contact Dennis, Lucy or one of the deacons if you need someone added or removed from the list.
