“I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give.
I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.
In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusement,
etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income
as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our giving does
not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say it is too small. There ought
to be things we should like to do and cannot because our commitment
to giving excludes them.”
C. S. Lewis, one of the most influential writers
of the 20th century, from Mere Christianity

Welcome to West Highland!
Thank you for worshipping with us!
Welcome to West Highland where our
doors are wide open to people from all
backgrounds, regardless of where they
are from or where they’re at on their spiritual journey.
In this day, when many church leaders seem intent on pushing an
agenda that is driving churches further and further away from the
truths of biblical Christianity, many church-going people find
themselves increasingly disillusioned and in some cases
disenfranchised from their own churches. Church members are
often bewildered to see their leaders and churches pursuing paths
that the Bible clearly prohibits.
Aware of these strong secular trends within the larger Christian
community, West Highland and its leaders desire to be faithful to
the time-tested teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles.
Together, we’re striving to become the kind of church described in
the Scriptures where there’s relevant Bible teaching, heartfelt
worship, honest friendships, constant prayer and compassionate
care for those in need. In short, we’d like to have the kind of
Christianity that’s true to the Church’s historic creeds and
influences the entire community one life at a time.
So, whether you’re a concerned Christian tired of going to church
to wage battle with secularism and simply looking for a trustworthy place to worship or a spiritual seeker who’s just started to
ask questions about God, we trust you will find a home here at
West Highland.
